So I feel like we've developed some bad sleep habits and I'm wondering how you ladies put your babies bed! I have a 3 month old and we co sleep. We go to bed anywhere from 830-930. And we may down and I nurse her to sleep. And she's up a few times just to eat but doesn't really wake up since I'm laying right next to her. Then her naps are kind of sporadic and short. We don't really have a schedule? Is that normal? How much should she be sleeping? What are your bed time routines?

it's normal for your baby to want a schedule. having a schedule gives a calming environment. I've had my daughter on a schedule since a month old. I don't co-sleep, never have. my baby goes to bed after a day of playing along with two naps during the day. bed time is a bath, lotion and dressing, bottle, and cuddles. if she's still not tired I'll let her play with toys in her crib till she sleeps or read a book to her. sleeps 9pm-8am. she has a white noise machine to help her stay asleep as well.
That's what I originally thought,but I'm reading mamas whose 3 months old sleep on their own 7-7?! Or for 8-10 hour stretches! On their own! My baby only takes long naps if she's in my wrap and we sleep together too so I'm wondering if there's a point I should stop doing that?
At three months the baby is too young to put into a schedule, its normal!
My son has been on a schedule since 2mos even though I bed shared. Same thing with naps. In the long run the structure made things run more smoothly. 6 mos or so I put him in his own room and after a week or so he was sleeping through most of the night.
