C has no schedule. I know. It's text book terrible, but it seems to work for her.
We don't wake her up in the morning unless we have to take her to daycare (usually only 1 day a week) or unless we have to leave the house early for something.
She usually wakes up anywhere between 8 am and 9:30 am. Sometimes though it's earlier. But average is 8 - 9:30. Every now and then she'll start to wake up around 5 or 5:30. Usually all we have to do is plug her paci back in and she'll go right back to sleep.
She'll take anywhere from one 3-4 hour long nap or a few hour long naps. No real set time. We just lay her down when she seems tired or if she's been up for a while.
Bedtime is a routine though. Dinner, bath, stories and songs while getting rocked with her bottle, then bed. She is down in her crib between 6 and 7 most nights.
Up for day at 630-7am First nap at 930 or 10. I think she will drop this soon since it's getting really short lately. Only 20-30 min 2nd nap. Usually at 12 or 1230. This is her long 1 1/2 to 2 hour nap
Bedtime I'm struggling this week because H is out of town so it's been hell trying to put her to sleep and also DS since he goes down at 8ish. Ideally she wants to go to bed at 630 or 7 but this is when DS is awake and not ready to be alone in his room yet so he wakes her up.
First nap 9.30am - usually 90 minutes, sometimes longer
Second nap 2ish - this is a car nap during school term as I have to pick up the big kids from school by 2.50pm. Usually awake around 3pm.
Bedtime between 6.30pm and 7pm.
Generally waking once per night around 4am. I feel like I should night wean him to get him sleeping through but it's so much quicker and easier and less disruptive to the rest of the family to give him a 5 minute nurse. I also find if he sleeps through this feed he wakes at 5.30am and is AWAKE. Hmmmm maybe next month....
We aim for two naps, but haven't been getting them lately. She'll nap in the car but mostly fight me at home. Naps are usually around 10-10:30 and 2. Eta: they used to solidly be an hour, but now we're lucky we get a half hour sometimes.

@scoop, Our schedule was a lot like that until he finally dropped the 3pm nap. Which was over a month ago now (can't really remember). He just refused to do it anymore. But afterwards the other two naps got a lot more consistent.

I'm surprised so many other babies have super early bedtimes! I thought we were along with the 6-6:30 bedtime.
sammyca, Girl I'm in the EXACT same spot with that one night feeding. I keep saying I should ween but it just seems easier.. but some nights he wakes up AGAIN like an hour before it's time to get up, so I end up nursing him twice, and then I'm like I HAVE to do it! lol. maybe next month.

We're on a similar schedule to a lot of babies it seems... Up between 6:30 and 7 Nap 1 is usually around 9-ish and lasts 1-2 hours Nap 2 is normally around 1/2 and lasts 1-2 hours Bedtime right around 7. We're up normally 1-2 times, and he flat out refuses to go to bed without a bottle when he wakes. So I'm also in the "I should night wean" boat, but it's easier just to feed him than to battle him for hours in the middle of the night. Also, just when I'm determined to do it, he'll randomly have a great night and STTN or only wake once not until 4/5 just to throw me off my game.

Let's check in on this on May 14th then and see if either of us have been bothered!
A lot of his schedule is dependent on whether he naps in the car to and/ or from school. I'm the crazy lady trying to keep him awake in the car now. Weekdays he wakes up around 5, nurses and sleeps with us until we start getting up and ready for work around 7. Weekends he'll sleep until 8:30 or 9 after nursing at 5. Nap 1 at DC is usually 9:30/10-11 Nap 2 pretty consistently starts at 2:15, but length can be anywhere from 45 minutes to over 2 hours. Bedtime varies, between 7 & 8 As much as I try to be, I am just not a schedule person, but this seems to work fine overall.

Up between 8-10 sometimes 4-6:/ Usually naps about an hour after waking up on her dad. Usually naps around 2 either in the car or during nursing time. Nap around 5-6 Bedtime about 8:30
Our naps range anywhere for 10 mins to 2 hours depending on the day. We are not on a very strict schedule which is probably why she is a crap napper and sleeper.
Nap varies, can start any time between ten and 11.30. Most of our classes start at ten and she chooses to stay awake because of FOMO. First nap is usually about forty minutes.
Afternoon nap is usually around 4.30 for about an hour.
We usually have at least five minutes of screaming before any nap. She hates going to sleep during the day because FOMO.
Bed time starts at seven and she's usually asleep between 8.30 and 9.
Number and length of wake ups varies hugely. Sometimes she sleeps through in her own room. Sometimes the only way for all of us to sleep is for her to come into our bed. She's ten months old so I'm satisfied that we're slowly going in the right direction. I'm expecting a lotof disruption when we move and again when she becomes a big sister!
I'm gobsmacked that some of you have regular naps of more than an hour! Are your babies awake all night?!
Up for the day at what time? 5:30am on weekdays. On weekends I can usually trick him to sleeping in to 6-6:30am Nap - frequency/duration? One short nap around 10-11am, one afternoon nap that might be a little longer if it is quiet enough around 2-3pm. He definitely doesn't nap as well at daycare as he does at home. Bedtime? 7:30pm and getting later. Mommy no likey just because I have so much to do in the evenings after work. He does sleep through the night minus occasionally getting up and looking around for a minute or two.

Ironically, if DS has a crappy nap day (both his naps lasting under an hour), he normally sleeps worse than if he gets a good 2-3 hours total of napping in during the day. I think it just depends on the kid, though. My BFF's baby naps for like, 20 minute spells, but her kid sleeps through the night like a champ.
UP for the day sometime between 6:30-7:30. First nap for about an hour sometime between 10:30-12:30 Second nap for about hour and a half sometime between 2:30-4:30 Bath time around 7:30 In bed around 8:00
And then night time. Sometimes he wakes up once, sometimes four times. But that's a different thread. I'm just happy he has a day time sleep routine finally and actually naps in his crib now.
