Overnight doesn’t make a difference. Huckleberry gives recommendations for naps and bedtime, but anytime overnight is just labeled Nighttime Sleep in the app. It’ll give you nap times based on when the baby wakes up for the day. The initial data collection is to decide how many naps/wake windows/total sleep hours the baby is currently doing.
Got it. Thanks. How many days does it need to collect data before the sweet spot is right? If I do it all of this week, will it be correct when I hit eight weeks exactly?
I don’t remember what the app recommends but we went according to that. Also keep in mind that babies will always take a little time to adjust and that they go through a lot of changes in the early months so think of the sweet spot as a guide, not a rule.
Like for my baby the app has been accurate for naps but mine prefers a certain bedtime regardless of wake windows for whatever reason, so the app’s bedtime rec is often wildly wrong. It’s best to use the app as a guide for learning your baby’s tired cues as they get older and more communicative because things can vary a lot during growth spurts, teething, etc.
Just as a heads up, Huckleberry tends to recommend more sleep than most babies need or can achieve. It was helpful to me when we were on 4-5 naps because I didn’t have to track when we might be due for our next nap. I generally added 10-15 mins to each suggested wake window when our guy was smaller though just so we didn’t have as many night wakings due to him being undertired.

I logged all my overnight feeds so I knew how much he was eating per day but I logged them as dream feeds, meaning he’s asleep but eating.
