Gracie, Lewis is still just trying to find his feet in this world and at this age their day-to-day varies so much depending on how much they sleep, how often they decide they want to feed etc. It is much better (and easier) to just follow their cues in the first weeks, expecially since it can take a few weeks to fully establish BF. In a week he will be coming up to the magical 3wk mark where he may want more feeding, more cuddles and may be a little harder to please in general so it would be difficult to try to figure out any pattern he may be starting.

I have found now though at 1mth, Alister is settling into a pattern of doing things. Some days though he may want an extra feed or be harder to settle, but he generally follows the same pattern every day.

Before long you will realise that you've already fallen into a regular way of doing things with him and more often than not, we fit in with them than they do with us LOL.

If you are keen on a more formal type of order to your day, just wait until he is a little bit older and more predictable.

As to why people think that you need routine, I can pretty much guess that they are older people or people who don't have children yet. Back in the day of our parents, it was all about routines, 4hr feeds and controlled crying (back then I think it was more just that our parents were pooh-poohed for cuddling us to sleep and just put us in the cot to work it out for ourselves LOL). But if you are happy with the way you're travelling with him ATM, then don't worry about it - there's plenty of time for it later.
