How important is it to have a routine for your LO? My LO is 8 months and I realised that these days she wakes up whenever, refuses to nap, and sleeps late. Perhaps it’s the sleep regression. However, I am wondering is it because we didn’t put a fixed schedule for her and we follow her cue. I read if LO is sleeping let them be, they will wake up when they are ready. But I feel like when my LO sleeps late, she wakes up late and it affects her nap time which eventually led to her being overtired. I also worry when she starts school she have a hard time because she is not used to having a schedule. I now thought maybe I should have some sort of schedule for her to follow so that she knows within a time frame this and that will happen etc. like wake up by 8am etc. Now we have a schedule but it is very flexible following her cue. But the routine is same everyday. 12pm eat just the wake up and sleep time and nap time that varies way too much. It lack total consistency. Very lost on what to do…
