Schedule

We waited until he did it himself, about 6 / 7 months he became very predictable with sleep and we just let him lead x

I use Huckleberry to track sleep during newborn stage and once they start going for longer wake windows I see their pattern and go off of it and make changes as needed. It helped alot with my first as trying to keep track of the time in my head was hard but usually they make gradual changes themselves. It made planning things easier as my oldest got older.

At least the first 12 weeks, no real hope just follow baby's lead. I don't schedule naps for a certain time when they're younger as life, poo etc happens 😂 but then start getting up and going down at night at the same time where possible and the in between sorts itself out. Once they're older and down to one nap we stick to a time for that and try to protect that space.
