[quote=Anonymous]On demand, but encourage routines. Have naps in a consistent place and with a consistent routine. I always fed on demand but tried to offer naps and bedtime on a schedule. So sometimes there would be an extra or early feeding, but I followed a consistent nap time. By offering a nap in our case it was nursing or a bottle in a dim room, followed by rocking to sleep. My kids nearly always napped when bedtime cues were given, taking me up on the offer, and then feedings eventually fell in a predictable pattern around naps. So while feedings were always on demand eventually they followed a reasonable schedule. IMO the nap offering is a kinder way to get into a routine than attempting to schedule feedings.[/quote]
