I can only speak to my kid and say that his nap schedule is all over the place. He’s 14 weeks so there’s no expectation to have one, especially as his 4 month regression has started but a sleep coach I’ve consulted said around 4 months is a good time to try.

ok thank you

The earlier the better I’ve been using the huckleberry app since birth but started using the schedule around 1 month try to get a routine follow the same wake windows look out for those sleepy cues. My girl is 3 months now but has been taking 3/5 naps a day

Mine has been keeping a good schedule ever since she was born.
I track everything on Huckleberry.. the only thing that has changed are the length of her sleep time.
We are at 4-5hrs (sometimes 6) at night.
& she eats every 2hours, naps every 4hours during the day.

my son goes to bed at 8:30pm and wakes up between 7ish to 8:30ish he gets tired and hungry around 10:30 so i’ll feed him and he goes down for a nap and then he wakes up at 12:30 and then goes back down for another nap at 2:30 and wakes up at 5 and then we do all the evening and night time stuff and then he’s asleep again till the next day

For this age, use 90-120 min wake windows. Instead of an actual schedule. Eventually he will create the schedule and you can stick to that instead of working against him. Also stick to a morning and nighttime routine. This will help him get into a rhythms and on his schedule. Adjust to his needs but once he’s more consistent make him stick to it
