Routine 3m old?

My 13 week old is an amazing sleeper, she sleeps from 8/9-30 ish until 7/7:30. However, we have no routine at all? I don’t know if this is a bad thing or not as she seems to be a good sleeper. The only thing is she’s not good at napping in the day. She struggles sleeping unless we are out or in the car as at home she wakes up constantly and when she does nap it’s always random times as we don’t have a routine. Also at nighttime am I meant to be putting her to bed the same time? Obviously she’s in my room and me and my partner watch tv at night in bed and I don’t know if this is okay or not? We also don’t get in bed the same time every night. I feel when she has her own room this will be better? As I can create a routine but while she’s in our room I don’t know how to do it without disturbing her sleep

At this age just go with the flow and enjoy the fact that she's sleeping. Things will change and her fab sleeping may change (may not too) but routines are easier to establish when a bit older. Honestly don't worry. Whatever you're doing now seems to be suiting the stage she's at. If she's sleeping at night and not screaming crying due to over tiredness during the day then absolutely no need to change anything. If that changes then think about adapting what you do to suit that next stage.

I had no proper routine with any of mine - they napped when they were tired - sometimes at home, or in the car seat or buggy if we were out. I put them to bed whenever they seemed tired - not at a set time. Sometimes they would fall asleep downstairs and I would carry themmup to the cot.

They are in school now and go to bed easily on school nights bit stay up later at the weekends.

If she sleeps like that do not change a single thing about what you are doing. Plenty of time for more routine later.
