I don't believe in putting young babies on a schedule. My daughter naps when she's tierd and eats when she's hungry.

MY kids do. I start a routine/schedule from birth, and it sets in soon after.
-
We breastfeed on demand, and let them sleep when tired. It doesn't take long for them to form their own schedules.

We never schedule feedings, but yes they follow a schedule/routine for sleeping. I've found that they sleep much better that way. -
Were mostly on demand right now. He's made a pretty good schedule on his own -
Babies should be on some kind of schedule. IT doesnt have to be a strict schedule.
-
I believe in a night time routine, to let them know when it's bedtime, but that's it. -
I try to, but dd does her own thing. -
My dd has always had her own routine going, it's always worked great so we never messed with it. -
We don't really have a schedule but we do have sort of routine as he is fed on demand and after that, I hold him up a bit if he does'n fall asleep, we play then a diaper change and then nap. It pretty much works well for us and prevents me from getting caught up in something
