DS is 6 weeks old. Currently, we don't have a schedule since he's so young. We have a very loose routine of bath, swaddle, nurse, bed... and it seems to work (knock on wood!) because he'll sleep for his longest stretch once we put him to bed next to us in his little cosleeper.

I guess I'm wondering if I should start this little routine earlier, because he goes to bed when we go to bed, which is around 11 pm. Is it even worth a shot? I guess I'm nervous to leave him in the room by himself with a monitor because I've never done that before and he's so little! He doesn't STTN yet; he's up every 3-4 hours to eat.

How did you go about getting LO down for the night at an earlier time? When did you start? I'm afraid I'm doing something wrong by keeping him up so late with us.
