I'm lucky in the fact that Carter has kind of made his own routine that happens to work for me and the family. He's also only had a couple nights that were a little rough, but for the most part, he's not gotten his days and nights mixed up.
Here's a round about overview of our days/nigts:
10:30-11:30pm: Bedtime
2:00-3:00am: 1st night feeding
5:00-7:00am: 2nd night feeding
9:00am: Carter wakes up for the day
11:00am: 1st nap
2:00pm: He usually nurses so he's ready to go pick up big sister from school by 3pm
He'll usually take one good long nap between 3pm and 6pm
then a shorter nap before 9pm
I pretty well let him decide when he wants to eat and sleep in the afternoon and evening and just go with the flow for the most part.
He's been a great baby just from the routine he's set for himself. I'm getting some sleep at night which is the main thing. I still hold him A LOT during the day, even when he is sleeping, so I don't get a whole lot done during the day, but I know that will get better.
At only 3 weeks and 2 days old, I couldn't ask for more, and I don't mind getting in these extra snuggles while he still lets me :)
