When to start LO on Schedule?
I am a FTM and have a 7 week old. I wanted to know when is a good time to start baby on a schedule and if anyone has any recommendations? I have no idea what type of schedule to have her on. Right now, I just eat, activity, sleep. Thanks

Re: When to start LO on Schedule?
DS is 3 months and we still don't have a schedule. The only thing that is scheduled is bedtime -- we start our routine around 7:00 and he's in his crib around 8:00. Our daycare doesn't start pushing their schedule until 6-7 months old, but they've told me most babies kind of pick up that schedule around 5 months or so.
Eat, activity, sleep is a good routine/schedule. I think the "experts" say babies can't truly self-sooth or put themselves to sleep until about 4 months, so that's probably the earliest you can successfully set a strict schedule.
