Our boys were 4 months old when we put them on a nap schedule (we were already on a feeding schedule). Here's what it was:

7:30am - up and bottle
9:00am - down for nap #1
10:00am - up from nap - time to play on activity mat, bouncy chairs, tummy time, etc.
11:30am - bottle
12:30pm - down for nap #2
3:00pm (give or take 30 minutes) - up from nap, time to play
3:30pm - bottle
5:15pm - down for nap #3
6pm - up from nap (when they were 6 months we added a solid feeding here)
7:30pm - 8:00pm - change for bed, bottle and put to bed

Shortly after implementing this schedule (like a matter of weeks) they were sleeping through the night. Before that we would offer a small bottle to whoever woke up - that was generally around 4 or 5 am.
