Nap/Sleep/Routine help

SraRox

Hi, Moms,

DS is about 2.5 mos old.  Between 5 and 8 weeks, he was basically STTN - at least 7 hrs up to 10.  But during the day, I had a hard time getting him to nap.  I read Babywise and decided to get more into a routine, though not a rigid schedule, so we've been doing the whole eat/play/nap thing.  Now I can count on naps, but he's not sleeping as well at night.  He goes to bed around 11pm, wakes around 4, then goes back down until about 8.  Still not bad.

I guess my question is: what happened?  I thought putting him in more of a routine would help.  Do you ladies have any suggestions?  Am I doing something "wrong"?  Also, is there a way to get him to go to bed earlier or does that come with time?   What are your routines throughout the day in terms of naps?  I'm a planner and thrive on routine, so 2.5 mos of no set routine is starting to drive me bonkers! Maybe this will all work itself out with time, but I thought I'd get your opinions.

Thanks!
