hi there and welcome to the boards

I just want to affirm that 8 weeks is so very young, and that often it isn't until the 3rd or 4th month until a solid EASY routine can be established. Just wanted to say that it's okay to not follow it so rigidly in these beginning months

That being said, I personally think that letting your LO sleep would have been the better option since you are working hard towards independent sleep and preventing him from getting OT (overtired). Unless there is some other reason that mandates he be eating on a very strict schedule, such as low weight gain, etc, then I would let him sleep as he takes it.
Just my 2 cents though!
