LO is only 2 weeks old, and our only schedule is that I make sure she is fed every 3 hours. (This schedule is more to establish my milk supply than for baby.) I've heard that the earlier you establish a schedule for your baby the better, but I see no sign of a natural sleep schedule quite yet. How old was your baby before s/he started keeping a regular schedule?

I think we had LO on a schedule by the time she was 5-6 weeks old. Her schedule changed a couple of times since though.
We've been on our current schedule for the last 8 months? LO is 1. -
He established his own schedule within the last week or two, he is 7.5 weeks.
But he deviates from it on occasion, he's not incredibly consistent yet so don't plan on her staying on schedule if she seems to develop one. -
both my girls were on a schedule at around 6-8 weeks... the first thing that helped me set one both times was noticing the timing of their first morning naps. It started to fall around the same time every day... that sort of would set everything in line for how the rest of the day(s) went...

DD is 6 weeks. She is getting predictable at night (1, 3, & 6 am feedings) but during the day it fluctuates. I go back to work in 2 weeks though so I may start trying to peg one down.
-
I think we fell into a pattern at about 4 weeks. LO will vary quite a bit during the day but follows rough patterns. At first it seemed completely haphazard.
-
Right away, because we had the issue of the day/night confusion, so we had to adjust the timing.
-
LO started setting her own rough schedule around 6 weeks old. Her nights were pretty consistent but her daytime naps were still all over. Now she is almost 11 weeks and her day/night is pretty predictable, but her days have changed a few times before we got here. I still followher cues rather than a strict schedule though.
-
It took me a while to get a schedule going, but LO didn't have any issues when we started it. I think life was better for everyone then.
-
DD was 9 months before she was on an exact schedule; DS is already on a bit of a schedule, but that's because we have to fit him in with what his big sister is doing, lol.
-
I think it was around 6-8 weeks before she got on a schedule... and I use that word losely because it's more of a routine. We don't have definite times that she's awake and asleep yet. But I generally know when she'll need a nap.
