BabyDD is 4 weeks old and since day one the first thing we implemented was a night time bath. Still, her bedtime is 10pm-ish but I'm hoping that will change to a bit earlier soon.
When did you start a routine of any sort?

3 weeks for DD1, but right away for DD2 since I knew that routines work well for me.

DD is 8 weeks and I feel like we have a "rough" schedule...During the day I go by her sleep and hunger cues, but she usually gives me one long nap in the morning and then short cat naps the rest of the day.
Bed time used to start around 10pm with bath, change, pyjamas, feed and asleep for 11pm, but she's started to be exhausted by 9:30 so her bedtime keeps inching earlier and earlier.

We implemented EASY around 3 weeks, but Xander's bedtime was pretty late because he refused to sleep in the evening. It moved up naturally on it's own around 10 weeks, which is when we really started getting into doing a bedtime routine.

6 weeks or so is when we started daily baths to help establish a routine. We've adjusted it as she got older.

@oliviaoblivia: We started a bedtime routine around 5 months!

10 weeks. We waited until the in-laws left because they were not helping with the "have her sleep in the bassinet" efforts.

I think around 6 months for us also! LO has always been a pretty easy going gal. She slept really well so we just let her set the schedule lol. I'm a SAHM so I wasn't worried about getting out the door at a certain time in the morning. Once she got a little older, a bedtime routine helped us get her down around the same time every night which has made our lives easier and more predictable. We still don't really have any daytime routine. She nurses on demand and naptimes vary.
