Schedule

Olivia

Opinions on a schedule...do you try to get your baby on a schedule or do you just let them decide...we have a very basic schedule but seems every time I try to do more of a routine something messes it up. I’m also hesitate to do to much of a routine because I don’t want her getting use to (for example: getting changed, reading a book/rocking and then getting layed down for nap) because then I’m afraid if we are anywhere but home and we can’t do that then she won’t be able to go to sleep because she’s out of routine. I want her to be able to fall asleep anywhere without relying on doing specific things. I’m a first time mom and just don’t know what to do as far as routines/schedules. She’s on a basic schedule but I want her to be able to “go with the flow” and not be so set on doing certain things in order to nap/sleep. A part of me wants to do all those “schedule/routine” type things and part of me doesn’t. What do you do and what are your thoughts?
