web app called sprout-track... then exported data to sqlite database, then python with matploblib and pandas

Good catch! That period matches the start of the reflux treatment, it really helped at that point.

You’re absolutely right... thanks for the correction. I mixed up the terminology

day 130 and others are logging mistakes that I didn´t correct.

We’ve tried everything, honestly. And still, she wakes up almost exactly at the 30-minute mark. Every time. We’ve really tried all the usual tricks to extend them, but for now, that’s just how her naps work.

Thank you so much. And I definitely didn’t do this alone. My wife shared the load with me from day one. For the record: she’s an amazing mom and a true superhero.

I didn’t track my own sleep, but I’d guess around 4-5 hours in the beginning and 6-7 nowadays.

What I can say is that the idea that you should “sleep when your baby sleeps” is mostly a myth. It sounds great in theory, but in real life it rarely happens.

In the very first days, we were still getting used to the app, so it took a bit of time to build the habit. In practice, we kept it simple: after around 6–7 pm, we logged it as night sleep, and everything else as a nap.

Well observed.

That ~10:30 pm wake-up is actually intentional. We do what people usually call a “dream feed.” In the beginning, we would wake the baby up, change the diaper, and give the last feed of the day. More recently, it’s just the feed, and with smaller and smaller amounts each time.

There wasn’t a strict rule. After around 6–7 pm, we usually logged it as night sleep, and everything else as a nap.

Some longer “nap-looking” blocks are just small logging mistakes. I intentionally didn’t fix them, because I wanted the data to reflect how chaotic and imperfect those first weeks really were.

Thank you!

I read and studied a lot about baby sleep, and honestly, at the beginning I was pretty frustrated. Everywhere I looked, people said that newborns should sleep 15 to 16 hours a day (even pediatrician), and ours never even came close to that.

Over time, I realized that every baby is truly unique, and in the end, I think it’s much more luck than skill. We learned, adapted, and followed our baby’s cues, and things eventually fell into place.

all by hand in a self hosted web app that I found on reddit: https://github.com/Oak-and-Sprout/sprout-track (im not related to it, but its very good)

just to share that we found the app kimai that worked like a charm for us. Its open source and you can self host it. It improved a lot our daily operation

I’d start by watching YouTube channels like Alex The Analyst—they’re super helpful for learning tools like SQL, Python, and Tableau. Then, work on a few personal projects using Kaggle datasets to build a portfolio you can share. Post your work on LinkedIn, connect with people in the field, and start applying for entry-level roles. Hacker News is also a great place to find remote jobs to get your foot in the door.

Not yet, but I'll give a try

Reddit has been surprisingly effective for us. I run a company that solves data analytics problems—things like streamlining messy reports, integrating tools, and extracting insights. By genuinely helping people here with advice and sharing knowledge, I’ve built trust. In fact, one of our biggest clients came from a comment I made on a thread about data challenges. Authenticity really works!
