Is there anyone who DOESN'T try to put their baby on a schedule?

Question

I haven't tried to put my baby on a schedule at all and so far things seem to be working well for my family.  I breast feed her on demand and she naps and sleeps for the night when she wants to.  She only wakes up during the night to feed once or twice and during the day usually only cries when hungry. 
I'm actually not sure what the point of having her on a schedule would be, but all the experts say to put baby on a schedule.  
Additionally, some sources say that before 3 or 4 months, you can't really put a baby on a schedule, so I'm not sure what to think.
Regardless, this has worked for my family so far.  Will it stop working later?
What do y'all think?

Answer

Yeah I have no idea how to even force a schedule lol, when this kid is out... he is OUT.

Answer

I dont initiate a schedule for baby. baby creates his own schedule. At night, he tends to go down for the night between 730 and 830. He sleeps between 2.5-4 hour stretches. sleeps in until about 9am. and then hes up for playtime, and then naps periodically during the day as well. I think when baby is a few months old, it's easier to set up a schedule for them. but right now, they feed on demand and sleep a lot.

Answer

No schedule here. 
She calls the shots 😂

Answer

My March baby is my seventh and I’ve never done a schedule. Always fed on demand and let them sleep when they slept. 
My March baby has been failure to thrive and we are pumping and adding formula to it, so he does get fed every 3 hours but he nurses overnight and eats whenever he wakes. I don’t often wake him during the day either... unless he’s passing the four hour mark, which is rare.

Answer

Baby sets the schedule here for sure.

Answer

No schedule for us either. He sleeps all night, waking a few times to eat then back to sleep. I just do what he says, he’s the boss! 😂

Answer

No schedule but a routine I guess. I start bathtime at around 7 and then he’s usually in bed between 8-9. During the day he naps when he falls asleep. But I found putting him to bed between 8-9 he sleeps the longest. I’m staying at home for now and don’t really do much so there’s no need for a schedule.

Answer

We aren’t using a schedule for my little one. I’m not even sure how I would 😂 he’s almost two months old; we just try to give him what he needs when he needs it 🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

Didnt with dd1 a d not really for this one. The only thing I might do is to try to get nap time set up but that won't be for  awhile. Dd1 doesn't follow a nap time just has her natural time but if we are doing something it gets thrown off and she ends up napping before dinner so late bedtime or a cranky toddler till she falls asleep.

Answer

No schedule here! Too young in my opinion xx
