Never wake a sleeping baby....

[MissTwister]

I keep reading how important it is to establish a routine from an early age and my daughter is 7 weeks so am going to give it a go. My question is, as I am demand feeding she eats and sleeps at different times each day, so do I wake her for a 7pm bath every night? Sometimes she will be awake at 7pm and sometimes she might sleep 6-9.30pm or variations on this. What do others recommend?

If anyone has a magic wand I am also keen to try and get her to stay asleep later than 5am. Currently she tends to wake for a feed at 8-9ish then 1-2ish then 5am. Should I be trying to do a later feed than 9 so this all moves back (although I tend to go to bed then too!)

thanks!

My oldest is 21 months and we had a routine from 4 months. DD2 is 7 weeks and we're so far from a routine it's unbelievable! The only vague routine we have is that if she's awake at 7 we bath her with her sister. And she's up for the day at 7 as that's when DD1 gets up. I'm going to start trying to instigate a routine at about 3 months but don't know how successful I'll be with a toddler running around as well.
