[quote=Anonymous][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 here. This is what he has been doing for the last two weeks. I know it will probably change in a couple more weeks. He was napping by himself for all naps until 6 weeks. [/quote]

16:38 poster back again. Looks like you’re already laying down great foundations and the afternoon cluster feeds and shorter naps can be attributed to the 7-9 wk fussy stretch. The long night stretch comes before daytime nap regularity, and it looks like your baby’s night sleep is progressing along great at usually 8 hrs. Better to have the afternoon clustering, than to have really difficult night time sleep!! This should pass, I wouldn’t worry too much about the recent need for “help” with the afternoon naps.
