As a big fan of 'natural' baby-led parenting, I've never implemented any kind of schedule, but have simply attempted to follow baby's cues as to what to do next, in terms of feeding and sleeping. Things seem to be changing, however, and now he won't nap easily when he rubs eyes/pulls ears/yawns, and he doesn't go to sleep easily at night, and I am beginning to not know his hungry cry, as it's changed so much from what it used to be.
Just wondering - does this point to a good time to start moving to a more structured schedule? Or do you think it's just a bit of random stuff and he'll start to show me the cues again soon?
I don't really mind either way, so there's no right or wrong answer here as far as I am concerned. Just wondering what others have done, really. Baby is seven months, so it might be far too late now to implement a schedule. What do you reckon?
