establish a consistent routine and teach your baby the difference between day and night for my baby boy i always give him a night bath letting him know it’s bedtime and end the night with milk and story time and during the day i play with him and ready listen to music etc etc

When my daughter sleeps i attempt to enforce that we sleep in the dark so at night she sleeps

tbh I don’t do a whole nighttime routine bc by nighttime I’m dead tired. I just keep his feeding every 2 hours or less if he wants, but at 2 hours I will always offer and he always takes tbh. gets his calories in during the day that way & will have his last feed around 10. gives a long first stretch, followed by a shorter 3 hour stretch, & then every two hours again the whole day. his naps aren’t consistent just depends on the day but whenever I notice him getting overactive or yawning that usually means he’s getting tired and I try to put him down before he gets overtired. takes a few naps during the day but they’re rarely over an hour each

Are you looking for a night time routine or a full day schedule? Either way I tend to take cues from my some and work from there. For example, I noticed around his midday bottle he would sleep a little longer than his other naps so now depending on where his bottle falls, he takes a swaddled nap anywhere from 11:30 to 1:00 and now he’ll sleep for 1.5 - 3 hrs. Before that bottle we’ll usually do tummy time and read a book (mine is only 2mo but I do it anyway). I used the same cues to figure out his bed time and then worked backwards to add bed time bath and story reading and what not.
