Are breastfed babies harder to get on a nap schedule?

[Anonymous]

My EBF baby naps 2x day for 90 minutes like some kind of miracle...but is still working on sleeping through the night.

I think it’s just all in the spectrum of babies...

+3. Both of mine were EBF but on a rough schedule by 5-6 months or so, younger with my daughter as she sort of had to work around my older ones schedule (ex nap time daily at 10 am after preschool dropoff). I let them fall asleep while nursing occasionally but definitely didn't make a habit out of it and never had any issues once we sleep trained.

+4. I tried to follow the EASY routine (not really a schedule), so nursing was followed by play rather than a nap.

Fyi, we didn't sleep train, but had a pretty good routine established even by the end of the first month. The schedule would shift if the baby woke up early or slept long, but it was always the same routine.
