Am I crazy? I bh don’t work. I exclusively nursing. I have no concept of what her schedule is. I kind of just wing it every day. Feed when kvetchy and it’s been a while since fed. Or if she’s upset and not calming down I’ll offer to nurse pretty liberally even if it’s a short time Since she last ate.. I put to nap when she seems tired. Bh she seems to understand night and day and wakes up to nurse at night but does go right back to sleep. But no official bedtime. Will put her down anywhere around 5,6,7,8 depending on when she last napped and what else’s is going on with the other kids etc. she’ll wake up in the morning anywhere from 6:30-8:30 bec that’s when my other kids wake. is this ok? I’ve never been this unscheduled with my other kids.. I think it’s working but am I setting myself and her up for difficulty in the future?

My babies are never scheduled. They generally fall in to routine after they turn one.

It's fine. Only reason you'd want a schedule is to arrange your own day around it.

If it works for you and your family, why not?

It's incredible. I think it's the right way to raise a baby.
It's my dream. Unfortunately, I work, baby has to go to babysitter and husband does a lot of childcare. So is impossible. Sad
One day maybe.

I do the same with the feeding and feel on demand whenever and wherever but I do purposely have my baby to down around 7.30-8 and he wakes up 6:30-8.
