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?

A rough schedule would be good but of course this should loosely be guided by baby’s cues. One way to gain better control of the daily schedule is to wake baby up in the morning at roughly the same time everyday.
