Hi,
My DD is 8 weeks old. We haven't established any sort of 'routine' with her and I have just been bfing on demand and going with the flow really. She naps a few times during the day and then tends to go to bed when we do - could be 9 pm or 10/11. At night she is sleeping generally 4 or 5 hours then waking for a feed then goes back to sleep for another 2 hours wakes again and goes back to sleep again for say another 1 or 2 hours.
It seems to be working well I think, however, everywhere I turn people are talking about routines, GF etc and getting babies into a bedtime routine so they will sleep from 7 to 7 etc... Am I making a mistake by doing what I am doing? I can't see how I can get her to bed at 7 each night...
Bit confused by it all as a first time mum - any advice gratefully received. Thanks.
