I still feel like that and mine are 3 and 1

20 weeks is still pretty young for a strict routine if BF, at that age DS2 was still all over the place re: naps but basically I offered the boob whenever he woke up from a nap (which was around every 3 hours) plus in between if he looked hungry

Also there is often a big growth spurt around 20 weeks so you might feel like you're feeding round the clock for a while but it should soon settle down.

Thanks MegB
He does kind of have his own routine. People just keep asking me if i have a routine yet and it makes me feel like i should have one. Maybe they've just been reading too much Gina Ford

Tell them you have a baby-led routine and leave it at that. Breastfeeding honestly works better when it's demand-led (less issues with supply etc) and that applies whether they're 3 weeks or 20 weeks.
