Should my 3 month old be on a schedule ?

Question

I have been letting my daughter eat when she’s hungry and sleep when she’s tired but I’m worried she’s sleeping to much and going to bed to late. Should I be putting her on some kind of schedule ? She usually wakes up between 6-8 and stays awake for about an hour after eating and then sleeps for 3-4 hours and then eats and is awake for about an hour and then sleeps for maybe an hour or two and then does the same thing until 7:30/8 she eats and then sleeps but I try to get another feeding in before bed time should I just put her to bed after 7:30/8 feeding and then let her eat whenever she wakes up again? Is about an hour of awake time normal or should she be staying awake longer ?

Answer

No. Shes too young to comprehend a schedule. Feed her when shes hungry. Let her sleep when shes tired.

Answer

When it comes to babies I've never understood trying to force a nap or feeding or keeping them awake so they'll sleep later. It almost never works, it just makes them crankier while they are awake.
I only wake my daughter up if she isn't already awake to leave for daycare.  Most of the time aside from that though I feed her when she gets hungry and put her to bed once she's sleepy. 
Maybe I've been blessed with an easy baby, but she's kind of found her own schedule and is in bed for the night at around 7pm. 
She's 7 months now and settled in this routine since month 4 I think.
Another reason I don't like waking them up is because sometimes they just need the extra sleep. They might be fighting off some sickness or going through a growth spurt and I don't want to get in the way of that.

Just try to get in a bit of a routine and remember it will all change soon

Answer

I don’t force it my son is 7 months old I found that by keeping him up so he will sleep later just makes for an extremely cranky not so pleasant baby all while trying to get my oldest situated for the evening. I don’t have a schedule for feeding I just go off his cues as well. I will for napping I try to keep his last nap of the day by 4 however if I noticed he needs a little cat nap after I’ll let him take it it’s usually no more than and hour or hour and a half. He’s sleeping pretty good at night wakes up for a bottles no more than three times and most times it’s just to be changed gets his pacifier and back to sleep he goes we’re up for the morning between 8am-9am.
