  LO started to put himself on a schedule, which worked out pretty well for us, but he isnt in daycare, so i can see how wanting to create a sleep schedule is a good thing. He wakes for the day around 8-9. After that he's usually up for about 1.5 hrs then will go down for about an hr nap. wake up around noon, then take about a 1-2 hr nap around 130-2. Later in the evening around 5-6 (depending on the length of the 2 nap) he'll take a 30 minute cat nap. He is then down to sleep at night around 8-9. sleeps a 6 hr stretch, then up every 3. He is EBF. Sometimes he will switch up the long nap between the 1st and 2nd nap times. He eats every 3 hours, in the evening he will eat more often until bedtime. I kind of follow his lead though. If he seems tired i put him down for his nap early. It really all depends. Im sure this schedule will change in a month :O) so im not too rigid LOL. GL!

  I'm a SAHM, but my LO put herself on a "routine" at around 3 1/2 months.  She was up for about 2 hours, then took a 45-60 minute nap, then ate around 4-5 oz, repeat throughout the day.  Now at 5 1/2 months she's gradually moving to 2 longer naps per day, but sometimes we still have 3.

  DD set her own routine, but it works. 

  Wake @ 7am & 4oz bottle

  Drop at daycare @ 8:45- she falls asleep on the way and sleeps until 12/12:30
  
  12:30 6oz bottle

  3:30 4oz bottle

  4:30/5 nap
  

  Pickup at 5:30

  6:00 4oz bottle

  7:30 nap

  8:00 6oz bottle

  9:00-10:00 bedtime - sleeps straight thru until 7am, no nighttime bottles.

  his rough sched is

  6:45 wake, eat (6 oz but can vary), bouncy/play

  8 - nap (45 min)

  8:45 eat (usually 4 oz, but sometimes 6oz, depending on how much he ate when he woke up), play

  10:30 nap - this is usually his long nap, lasting about 3 hours, but sometimes he wakes up at 45 min.

  1:30 eat (6 oz), play

  3:30 - nap

  4:15 - eat (4-6 oz), play

  5:30 eat (2-4 oz), bouncy/play
  

  6 - bath, massage, story, eat (2 oz) sleep by 6:30

  there is always some variation on how much he eats, esp days when he takes all short naps. he sometimes won't stay asleep for his later nap, so that will also change things a bit.

  LO is still in the process of making her own schedule but this is it so far.
  
  She wakes up around 8-9am. Stays awake and plays until 11:30 ish then sleeps for a good hourish.  stays up for 3ish hours then takes another nap prob a little over a hour- 2 depending on if we went out.  then she is usually up until 7. ( also depending on the day.) then she goes to bed around 10-1030.  she wakes up around 5-6 am to eat.    During the day she eats every 1-2 hours.  and she has been taking a lot of 5-20 minute power naps.  If i go out for the day she usually sleeps a good 3 hour chunk between noon and 3ish and stays awake more in the afternoon.
