Did you find that your baby followed (vaguely) sleep routines based on their due date or actual age?
My baby is 12 weeks, corrected age 5 weeks and I'm being encouraged by the health visitor to have an 8pm bedtime and basically expect the sleep of a three month old baby but she's still only newborn size and feeding lots with only a vague routine plus she doesn't settle down to sleep at night til at least 10 and is wide awake at 8.
She's fallen into a bit of a routine of waking for night feeds but doesn't have much of a routine with daytime naps.
I'm not sure if I should be trying to put a routine in place based on her actual 12 week age or treat her like a 5 week old newborn.
