My baby is 3.5 months old and we still have no routine and it’s starting to really affect me - going out to meet friends or to baby classes is so stressful as I don’t know when his naps are going to be.
I’ve tried getting up at the same time everyday but his morning nap still never happens at the same time.
He always seems to be wide awake at the end of 90 minute wake windows so perhaps he needs longer wake windows? Day time naps are just stressful anyway as he’s so hard to get to sleep, we usually resort in carrier naps or contact naps after breast feeding.
How did you all start a routine, if you have one?

I have no solution to this but I am in the same boat. My first had such a solid routine by now but my second one changes every day. To some extent it could be temperament but I’m also hopeful of getting into routine asap

No routine here either. I was obsessed with routine and stressed over it with my first but honestly I’m enjoying this much more. Baby will fall into routine when they are ready and their temperament is a big part of this.
