Do any of your LOs have dedicated nap times, or do you just let them sleep when they sleep?

Charlie falls asleep randomly throughout the day so I've just been going with it, but I don't know if I should be trying to schedule naps or not?

Okay that's pretty much what I was thinking but I didn't want to be like sabotaging myself by being blissfully unaware that I'm screwing up her sleeping patterns.

She naps whenever but we are starting to see awake and asleep patterns...just not at a specific time yet. I suspect once DH starts traveling again we will be on a more set time schedule since it will be just me getting him to music, preschool, etc.

My LO sleeps when he wants for now. I wake him up every 3 hours to feed him. I was reading you really can't get them on a schedule till they are 6-8 weeks old. He will start at daycare when he is 10 weeks old so I would imagine by then we will have some kind of a schedule/routine down.

No schedule here. He's 6.5 weeks and sleeps whenever. I stay at home so I don't really worry about it. But I can see where getting a schedule started could be important if you're going to work.

I fed DD1 on demand and plan to do the same with LO, I just let DD1 sleep whenever. Seemed to work for us. They kind of get themselves into their own routine, DD1 has the same naptime everyday, but it's not because of me. Some kind of personal decision she's come to! Lol

No type of schedule yet, I keep my DD and the kid I watch on a pretty strict schedule during the week for my sanity and theirs, they would keep going to they were so crabby and whiny if I let them, but he probably won't fall into that for a couple weeks if not months

So glad you posted this. I was just stressing over when to implement a routine last night. I have no idea how this is all going to work out when I go back to work. I feel like I'm going to be late every day because his naps and when he's hungry is so random.

My baby eats and sleeps whenever she wants. Even if I wanted to follow a routine, I can't be bothered.

Eats and sleeps whenever here too. The only "routine" we have is that after he feeds at around seven, we give him a bath or massage, put a sleeper on, sing to him and try and feed him again.

I let DD2 sleep and eat whenever she wants. She's still little.

DD1 chooses her own nap time too. Most days she doesn't nap lately, but when she does pass out as she needs.

My LO eats every 3-4 hours and sleeps whenever she wants. I would like to start a nightly bath routine but I'm always exhausted by 8 or 9. Right now only bath her every couple days. Eventually I would like to get her on a daytime nap schedule but right now I'm not worried about it.

HorseLover11 · October 2014

We do a schedule of eating every 3 hrs in the day starting with the first feed at 9am regardless of when she ate last and then aiming for 4-6 hr stretches at night. It's really giving me a chance to rest (my eyes and boobs!) I also like it so I can have more structure in my day as I'm naturally a planner.

MrsKasel10 · October 2014

Oh I would love to be on a schedule. Lo is 2 weeks so not yet. I look forward to getting on a reliable schedule.

Irisheyes1247 · October 2014

We have a routine of eat, awake, nap but no schedule. Well at least it isn't her schedule yet, she gets dragged along on her big sisters schedules.

bumpuser10199668 · October 2014

We have an eating schedule that is flexible. But he stays pretty close to it. We usually eat at 9am, noon, 3pm, 6pm, 9pm, 2am, 6am. Sometimes there's an extra MOTN feeding but he sticks to that pretty well on his own. As for sleep...during the day is TOTALLY random. We start trying to get him to sleep at 10pm though. At 6 weeks we are goingn to start trying more routine bedtime stuff like reading and bath time
