Sleep schedules?

Question

Does everyone have their baby on a schedule?
Is it better to have a schedule instead of letting their babies sleep whenever?
My baby was going to sleep at 8 pm but lately she’s getting tired around 5 pm and wanting to sleep

Answer

Sleep is the one thing I dread with my 7m old. Naps, sleep. He fights them all.... I feel like I don’t know what I’m doing so I’m curious to hear what everyone else says....

Answer

we have a routine not a schedule!

Answer

The only thing consistent now is her waking up around 7:30 to 8 and going to bed around 8:30 to 9. 
If we are out with family or something, it might be a little later but her naps are now just whenever she is giving tired cues I lay with her and see if she will fall asleep. She takes 3 naps a day anywhere from 2-4 hours after waking.

Answer

Thanks everyone! I was just thrown for a loop because for as long as I can remember her bed time had been 8 pm and she’d mostly sleep through the night but lately 5-5:30 pm hits and she’s fussy and nothing makes her happy and giving tired cues so I put her down for a nap which turns into a sleep lol

Answer

My son follows about the same schedule every day. He wakes between 6-7.. he naps around 9am ,12pm and 3pm ish. He naps every 1.5-2 hours from when he’s woken up. He goes to bed no later than 7pm. He sleeps through the night until 6-7am.

Answer

We're on a very flexible schedule. First nap is the most consistent one. He wakes up between 8-8:30 and goes down for his first nap between 10-11 am. From there he naps every 2.5-3 hours. Last nap is usually around 5-6 pm. Bedtime is between 9-10. Everything in between the first and last name just depends on the day.

Answer

We have a schedule, but it's flexible. She wakes up around 6 or 7, takes her naps every 2-21/2 hours after that, until about 3. She won't start a nap after 3, she just fights it. So I just put her to bed between 6 and 7 depending on when her last nap ended. If it was early, she goes to bed at 6, if she had a late nap, 7 or even 7:30 depending on how she's acting
