Sleep schedule for newborn

Jaz • Baby Mom 🧑🏽‍🦱

My baby is now 12 days old and I’d like to know what kind of schedule you ladies use and what works for you. (Keep in mind, I’m breastfeeding.)

I know he’s not going to adjust right away but I’d like to know what works for you. My son takes 2 long naps on his own typically 1-4pm, and again about 5-7:30pm...between 4-5 is little 15 min naps/feeding time. I force him to wake up around 7-8pm, so I can put him to bed around 9pm. My boyfriend said to have him go to bed at 11pm, but by then baby was staying up until 1am and then sleeping 3 hours each period.

Last night, I tried to get him ready for bed around 9pm, he didn’t fall asleep until 11pm, and woke up around 2am. Then he was up maybe 40 minutes then slept til 5am. He was up again then slept til 8am.
