What a 2 months old's day looks like

Social smiling appears and sleep starts organizing. Keep windows at the short end — overtiredness at this age is brutal.

Windows lengthen across the day: start the morning near 51 minutes after wake-up and let the final stretch before bed run closer to 86 minutes. If naps keep running short, the day is likely overtired — pull bedtime earlier rather than stretching windows.
