I'm sure this has been asked a bizillion times, but what is your 3mo's daily schedule? How much are they eating and how often? What is their sleep pattern like? I just want to see what the norm is and if we are on the right track...
I was just thinking about this today - I have no schedule!! LO doesn't nap the same times, doesn't sleep the same time/hours each night, it's so sporadic.
For the most part, he'll eat every 2 hours during the day...he'll sleep around 6 hours at night, eat, and then sleep for about another 3. That's about all the routine we have. It's making life very difficult for me - VERY. I don't even know how to get a routine going for him! I almost lost it today trying to get him to nap...I spent hours trying to get him to sleep! This happened several times this week. I don't know what else to do!
plays a bit then eats about 5oz at 1230ish and then a long nap until 230 and eats
another cat nap around 4....
at 530 bathtime, story time and off to bed at 630pm - and wakes up at 2am for a feeding
He normally eats every 3 hours except his 7hr stretch at night .....his daily nap schedules vary, though - but this is more or less the norm for him....he is BF and eats about 4-6oz at a time
DS wakes up around 6:30 am and I nurse him until 7:00 when it's time for his first bottle. He gets five 6 oz bottles every three hours: 7, 10, 1, 4, 7.
He takes about 3 naps a day: 2 half hour naps and 1 hour nap.
We start getting ready for bed around 7:45...maybe bath, then jammies, story, nursing, and bed. He sleeps from 8:30 pm until about 6:30 am.
DS usually eats 5-6 oz every 3 or so hours during the day. So it can be around 9 AM, 12, 3, and 6 ish.
He naps for an hour or so after he is awake for about 2 hours. So he naps 4 times a day. He sleeps hard in the evening, and eats for the last time around 10:30. We put him to bed and he sleeps until 4-5 AM. He eats then and sleeps until 8-9 AM.
DD only stays awake for about 2 hours at a time, so depending on what time she wakes up, she usually takes 2 morning naps, then one longer afternoon nap and a short evening nap. Bed by 7:30. She is eating 5-6oz evey 3-4 hours
I hate to say it, but we're at 4 months and still have no schedule. At 3 mos, she was awake for 1 hr between naps, but now it's more like 2 hrs. Her nap lengths have always been a mystery to me. I never know how long she'll sleep. She was, and still is, eating quite often, usually every 2 hrs, to make up for the several night-time feedings that she hasn't had since 3 mos.
Bedtime routine starts around 7:15/7:30, in bed by 8:15
As of this past week up at 12/1 to feed and then up at 3/4 to feed. It is hard to get him back down sometimes around 3. I really hope that gets better soon. He was going for a longer first stretch and then making it to like 5:30 but we appear to be going backwards

Of course we play during the times that she is awake. We are just starting to notice a more concrete schedule with her.
DS wakes up around 6:30 am and I nurse him until 7:00 when it's time for his first bottle. He gets five 6 oz bottles every three hours: 7, 10, 1, 4, 7.
He takes about 3 naps a day: 2 half hour naps and 1 hour nap.

DS usually eats 5-6 oz every 3 or so hours during the day. So it can be around 9 AM, 12, 3, and 6 ish.
He naps for an hour or so after he is awake for about 2 hours. So he naps 4 times a day. He sleeps hard in the evening, and eats for the last time around 10:30. We put him to bed and he sleeps until 4-5 AM. He eats then and sleeps until 8-9 AM.
DS eats between 5-6 oz. about every 3-4 hrs.
Up at 6, feed 615, down for 2-21/2 hr nap by 7:30
Usually feed around 6, 10, 1, 4, 8, 12, 3
