[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1. This is a fine age to do a schedule. We did with both kids.
Do Eat-Play-Sleep every 3-4 hours on a cycle. You can do a fixed hourly schedule but you don’t have to as long as you roughly time the cycle .  Doing the Sleep part on a schedule before they get overtired helps a LOT.
2. Pediatricians are fine but they’re medical professionals and haven’t trained their whole career to be sleep coaches. They know stuff but don’t be a slave to the pediatrician.

If you do 1 will that get you and husband to agree?[/quote]

This +1000! The key to being on a schedule is being flexible enough to allow changes, hiccups, and the un-account for things. A schedule at this age is more of a guideline. It might actually help baby sleep more consistently and for longer stretches. As baby gets older, you can get a little more stricter with the schedule without inflicting harm. If you aren't swaddling, swaddle. If its your scent that baby wants, safely add a piece of your clothing to where baby sleeps. Make sure baby is adequately fed. A hungry baby won't sleep well.[/quote]
