What type of schedule during the day is your baby on?

My LO is 9 weeks. She doesn't really have a schedule right now due to her being colicky.

On a good day my LO will wake up around 6 eat and go back to sleep around 730-8, wake up around 10 eat, play, sleep until about 1ish and then we're off to the races with fussiness and fighting naps. Sometimes she'll pass out around 8pm other times she'll take little cat naps until 12am.

 I was wondering if any of you moms have their LOs on a schedule yet and what your typical day looks like.

Sounds a lot like my 9-week old son!!  He wakes around 6, eats, we play/do tummy time on us, and then he down for a nap within an hour's time usually. He'll sleep for 90 mins usually, and then more eating/playing for about an hour, and then he gets cranky and rubs his eyes, so he goes down for a nap again. He does this pretty much all day, with some alert times being a bit longer (no more than 90 mins, ever though.. he fusses for sleep). Then, he goes down to sleep between 8 and 9. He used get very fussy and wouldn't always fall asleep right away, like your daughter, from like 3-4 until bedtime. It's gotten a bit better ever since I don't push him to stay up, and place him in his swing the moment he shows cues of being tired. Sometimes he will just look around the won't sleep right away in the swing, but he is definitely content until he falls asleep. The times I wait for him to be very tired, he drops his binky 5 times and fusses before he finally falls asleep. In those cases, he definitely isn't content until he's asleep. Poor baby.

I wouldn't call it a schedule, especially when I run errands and he won't always nap in the car or I wake him when I move his seat, and we go into stores or whatnot.

 I think at this age, they tell us what they want and need. Once he get to be like 4 months, I will try to make his last nap no later than 5. This way, he can sleep an hour, then be up for 2+ before bedtime. 

 Gotta love those babies!

My DD2 is 6 weeks old today. Her schedule has been like this:

Anywhere from 4-6:30 am she will wake up to eat and go back to sleep until 8-9am

Feed her after she wakes up and then she is up until 12ish

Sleeps until 3-4pm wake up and eat

Then she is usually up until 8-9. Most nights she wakes back up after 30 minutes or so ( I am suspecting it is b/c she has tummy troubles) I usually check her diaper, rewrap her and walk around with her until she passes back out.
