I am trying to get my 9 week old on some kind of bedtime/nap schedule. So far her bedtime ends up being at a different time each night. We always follow the same routine-bottle, bath, swaddle, and sing/rock. Then we put her in bed still awake. Sometimes she will sleep for three hours and sometimes she is awake in 30 minutes. My two year old was following a very consistent bedtime/nap schedule at this age, but we can't seem to get our new LO to fall into a consistent pattern. I was working at the time and we got up every morning at 5 AM. I am staying at home now, so our wake up time is always different. My main question is, do you think I should wake my LO up around the same time each morning or let her sleep until she wakes up? Will it hurt for her naps to be at different times each day? Right now she is on a three hour schedule, with activity time at about 20 minutes.
Thanks!
