bedtime/feeding routine question for 5 week old

Jimsgirl5821

I know she is too young for a schedule but I want to start putting her down at the same time every night, or try. We had just been holding her til whenever we felt like bed and then putting her down at what ever time we went up...11, 1am, etc. Last night she wanted to eat at 10 so I fed her and put her down at 10:30...tonite she has not woken up yet for a bottle yet (had one at 8) Should I have woken her at 10 to feed anyway or tried to put her down w/o having eaten or what? SHE NEVER EATS THE SAME...SOMETIMES SHE ONLY GOES 2 HOURS...OTHERS 3 - 3.5 so how do I have her fed around same time for  bed each night?(sorry about the caps...only have one free hand)

Tonight is the first night our routine has worked out.  I've never had a real routine until now.  At that age I tried, but it never came even close to working out.  The only difference was I'd put him his his diaper, it was a hot summer...  and put on the white noise machine for nights only, not for naps.

My little one is 5 weeks too and we are attempting bedtime routine this week.  So far 2 days have worked out.  I do an 8pm feeding and then put him down....swaddle, noise machine and door closed.   He is then up at 10/1030 for a feeding and then I go to bed.
