And I started the nap process based on wake window length but that always came with sleepy cues too.
E-A-S and wake windows really helped me to just have a handle on the day but I wouldn’t call it a “schedule” and it was still responsive to the baby. It just helped me to have a sort of plan. It worked great except for the witching hour, but I guess that was also on our “schedule” and I would just plunk down on the couch with snacks and TV on mute.
If this is like “eat, play, sleep” then we did the same thing.
