7:15 a.m.is the typical median wake-up from 3 to 18 months. Around it, the middle half of babies usually wake within about an hour of each other, and 9 in 10 within about 3 hours.
The median morning wake-up stays between 7:08 a.m. and 7:37 a.m. at every age in our data. At 9 months the middle half of babies usually wake between 6:37 a.m. and 7:46 a.m., 9 in 10 between 5:57 a.m. and 8:54 a.m., and about 1 morning in 10 starts before 6 a.m.
Morning wake-up by age
The middle baby wakes between about 7:10 and 7:35 am at every age; at 9 months, 9 in 10 babies wake between about 5:55 and 8:55 am.
The line is a typical baby. Most babies fall somewhere in the shading, so being above or below the line is normal.
At 9 months, about 1 morning in 10 starts before 6 am, and about 1 in 30 before 5:30 am.
Each baby counts once, as its usual wake-up: its average over the month.
Complete days only: a day counts when a parent logged the morning wake-up, every nap and bedtime, with at least one nap. The night is the time from bedtime to the next morning wake-up. Each baby counts once per month of age, as its own average over at least 7 complete days, so every baby gets one vote. Unsettled weeks count too: nothing is left out for being irregular. Only what parents entered is used. Source: Napper analytics, aggregated, ~403,000 babies · 47 million baby-days, Oct 2025 to Sep 2026.
