Hi all,

FTM here. I’m wondering whether I should start having a routine for my little girl?

shes waking every 3 hours really for a feed. 9am; 12, 3pm, 6pm, 9pm, midnight, 3/4am, 7am then repeat.

should I be waking her in the day for example she’s slept 2.5 hours this nap now, to try and get her to sleep longer in the night? How long should wake windows be? Advice is much appreciated!

I generally start with a routine at the onset of the 4month sleep regression. Mine went through this at 2.5momths though. If you think she'll respond well to a routine then do it.

Don't bother. Sleep when baby sleeps. Routine comes in post 4 months.

No I would be guided by her. She is still very tiny and in the 4th trimester.
