[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]By 8 weeks, I recall Eat-Wake-Sleep PLUS a fixed “start” to the day, as much as possible (I.e. first feed at 7am, even if waking baby up early from sleep) really helped. The latter seemed to do the most to bring predictability to the days (huge for my mental well being!). Once that was established, we naturally fell into a schedule. Did this with #2, didn’t with #1.[/quote]

OP here. We have him on a strict wake up every morning. He takes good morning naps but the afternoon can be harder. He has a strict bedtime routine.

A typical day. Everyday is a little different when it comes for he afternoon. He sleeps by himself for the morning naps but I hold him for the afternoon naps. He is combo fed and gets a two bottles of formula a day.

7am - Wake up, eat
8-9:30 - nap, eat 
10-45 - 12 - nap, eat 
1:15-2 - nap, eat 
3:15-4- nap, eat
5:30-6 - nap, eat 
7:30 - Eat
8- bedtime. Wakes up around 4 for a feeding. Sometimes will wake up around 1 to eat. [/quote]

Op, wow, you are seriously overthinking this and your husband has no clue at all what he’s talking about. Baby is hungry, feed him. Baby is cranky and crying, nap time or cuddle in a rocking chair together. It’s not rocket science, it’s a baby, he doesn’t understand your “schedule”. I swear, the internet has turned parents into stressed out crazies. What did mothers do for thousands of years without precise schedules? How did anyone grow up into healthy and functioning adults?[/quote]
