Consistency!! I started doing a bed time routine with Maddox at like 1 month. Bath, bottle/nursing, bed. T was really rough at first. But stick with it. Do it every night at the same time and eventually they’ll learn.
Yes, I read somewhere that it takes at least 3 days to change or teach a habit to a baby. Have you read the Baby Whisperer? She has some good tips and ideas of how to start a routine and what to expect. :)

They kind of make their own schedule.
