Schedules

My LO is 18 weeks and on baby led schedule. It's eat, play, sleep but times vary by the day. She usually eats every 3-4 hours (pumped BM). Bedtime anywhere from 7:30-9:30 depending if she has cat nap around dinner time.

I'm looking to get her on consistent schedule. Any sample schedulea or suggestions would be appreciated!! How long did it take your LOs to get on schedule? Thanks!

My LO 18w and is bottle fed. She eats every two and a half hours still. Anyway our schedule isn't quite set in stone, but she naps for 45 minutes every 1 1/2 hours. She wakes up at 6 am. Eats, plays and then is asleep again at 730am. Same routine and then again at 945. Another nap at noon, and then again at 215 and 400. She is up from then until 6 and we start bedtime.
My suggestion for you is to start tracking her wake time and how long she is awake before she gets tired, then you can start a nap time routine around certain times throughout the day. Obviously if we are out running errands this can mess up her schedule, but it's working pretty well otherwise!

My twins have been on a schedule since birth & its worked great for me! Their schedule now is 4.5oz of pumped breast milk @ 6am, 930am, 1pm, & 430 pm. 5.5oz @ 8pm & 1am. During the week they are usually up @ 6 because i get DD ready for school & fall back asleep @730 to 930 fall back asleep around 12 and stay asleep till about 430 and are up until about 730 pm. Its hard on them on weekends since we are out and about but i mever change their feed schedules or nightime routine
