Schedule

Does anyone feel like they have a good schedule going for their newborn? If so, what week did that happen for you? Any tips on a schedule? I feel like right now (5 weeks) we just eat and sleep when we can.

My husband went back to work week 6 and that’s when I decided to get a schedule going. I’m paying more attention to his sleep cues and wake windows and that’s helps me with keeping him on a solid sleep and feed schedule. It does fluctuate from time to time but it is working.

My baby is also 5 week, we were getting on a schedule bit I think he is going though a growth phase so he is eating more on demand. I hope we can get back to our routine once this passes

We bought the book Moms on Call to help establish a schedule. Not sticking to it perfectly but it's a really helpful guideline especially for longer overnight sleep stretches

No I just nurse and let him sleep on demand. So far we’ve had 3 sleeps longer than 5 hours he is almost 6 weeks. He still has day night confusion.

At 5 weeks (and as a second child) we just go with the flow sleeping and eating as we can.... With my first she didn't really set a schedule/even nap the same number of naps consistently until closer to 4 months old! And I spent those 4 months determined to get her on a schedule - because I thought she had to have one to be healthy ( 🤷🏻‍♀️ first time Mom).
