Should a 5.5 month old baby have a fixed schedule?

I've been reading that a lot of parents have fixed milk, naps & sleeping schedule for their babies everyday. But for our 5.5mo we just feed when he's hungry & put him to nap/sleep when he's tired. We don't have a fixed schedule. Is it important for baby to have a schedule?

Not really a fixed schedule, but the baby should have established some kind of routine on his own. e.g. he'll drink milk every 3-4hours, nap n times a day with night sleep happening around x time, and wake up at x time.
