DS is 3 months and not really on much of schedule. He generally sleeps about 5 hours in naps and 10 night, so his nighttime sleep is pretty well regulated, though:

6:30 pm - Start bedtime routine
7:30/8:00 - asleep
9:00 - dream feed
2:00-ish am - wakes for a bottle
5:00/7:00 am - wakes up for the day

One thing to note is that many babies go through a sleep regression around 4 months, so if she's suddenly waking for a bottle when she was sleeping through the night before, that might be the issue.

Our son is 3.5 months and has only recently settled in to anything like a schedule.

8PM start bedtime routine (bath, massage, sleepsack, sometimes a book if he's calm enough, nurse, bed)
9PM he's out
In the last week or so he's started sleeping through. He wakes up anytime from 4AM to 6:30AM. Sometimes if he's up very early, he'll go back to sleep for a bit.
Then a brief nap (1 hours usually) sometime mid-morning (8ish?).
Another nap around 11. Sometimes lasts as long as 2pm.
After that, he'll take a few brief cat naps in the afternoon, but nothing regimented. Usually at least 30 mins (sometimes an hour) around 6pm.
I'm sure it will change now that I've got it somewhat figured out

@ElisaT: It depends on what we're doing. If we're spending time outside, he is so distracted, he'll make it almost 3 whole hours without fussing and go down super easy. If we're inside and there's not as much stimulation, he gets cranky a lot sooner.

I would say to go off your DD's cues. If she's cranky at 1 hour, go ahead and put her down. My DD was like that as an infant; I put her down after an hour or 1.5 hours awake until she was 5 or 6 months old. She just couldn't tolerate being awake for longer than that. DS, on the other hand, has a much higher limit.

I'm so jealous of your schedule! My daughter is 2.5 months old, and there is no schedule in sight. She won't nap for longer than 30 minutes at a time, so I spend most of the day trying to convince her to go down for yet another catnap! She's great at night though, so that's her saving grace.

wow amazing you have a great night sleeper and day napper!

My son is4 mos and still gets up 3+ times a night (tho every night is different, it'salways at least two). But he is good about naps.

7am get up
9am nap #1 for 1.5 hrs
12:30 nap #2 for 45 mins
3pm nap #3 for 2-2.5 hrs
7pm bedtime

He stays up 1.5-2.5 hours at a time

@ElisaT: I just went off her cues too...I worried a lot bc other babies were staying awake much longer than her...but her doc says let her sleep as much as she wants. Mrs. Hotdog also has a sleepy baby and reading some of her comments about how much her baby sleeps made me feel so much better

@skibobrown: bah! Reading about other babies' schedules and dealing with our total lack of schedule makes me want to poke my eyes out. But, like you, decent night sleep is LO's saving grace!
