When did you start a routine with your baby?

I am wondering if it is time for us to start a routine. The last couple of days she has pretty much been sleeping most of the day and when she is awake we play with her, but maybe we should be trying to keep her up more?

Just in the last month. ?But he never had the day/night confusion, or we would have done a routine earlier. ?We just went with the flow and did what he wanted, when he wanted it.

At 6 weeks, but we don't force her bedtime.  When she wants to go to bed, we start her routine.  We start as early as 6pm and as late as 8pm.

LOL uh oh, we usually don't start getting ready for bed until 11pm. I am worried that if we put her down early/before us, she will be up all night.

Ditto.  We ONLY have a night time routine at this point.

We only have a bedtime routine, I will let daycare dictate her daytime routine so it will be what works for them.

I am so lost on this one, why does it seem so hard to figure out a routine? lol
