Infant Day-Night Reset Planner

A gentle routine plan for day/night confusion and frequent night waking

Creates a practical, age-aware daytime routine and evening wind-down plan (light, naps, feeds, bedtime sequence) to support healthier sleep rhythms.

PROMPT

Create a 14-day day/night reset plan for my baby. Ask for age, naps, bedtime, wake-ups, and feeding. Output: daily schedule guardrails + bedtime routine + troubleshooting branches.

How It Works

This skill builds a simple "day structure" plan (light exposure, naps, feeding rhythm, bedtime sequence) that you can follow for 7–14 days.

Triggers

  1. Baby sleeps more during the day than night
  2. Frequent night waking + long awake windows overnight
  3. Parents want consistency without rigid schedules

Steps

  1. Gather current pattern: wake time, nap lengths, bedtime window, feeds.
  2. Create a daytime anchor: morning light + first wake window.
  3. Generate nap guardrails (latest end time, max late-day nap).
  4. Build a short evening wind-down routine (same steps, same order).
  5. Provide "if baby wakes" response options (soothing ladder, feeding checks).

Constraints & Edge Cases

  • Always prioritize safe sleep and feeding guidance from clinicians.
  • Major sleep changes should not compromise infant nutrition.

Expected Outcomes

  • More predictable evenings
  • Improved parent confidence and tracking
