Hi all,
My son is 7.5 months and has been a textbook EASY baby since 3 months old. I have been religiously following the book and gradually increasing his Activity time since he hit 6 months old. His activity time is now 3.5 hours during the day. My question to the forum is how do you keep to your feeding times when your bubba starts increasing his activity time? He feeds every 4 hours since 4 months old and I have been continuing to do so since then.
He generally has 2 naps during the day and I have read from the forum and book that the day naps should shorten as he gets older. Do the experienced moms out there have any advice for a baby that used to sleep 2 lots of 1.5 hr naps during the day and is now transitioning to 1 short nap and 1 long nap - what should the transition look like? Short morning nap and long mid day nap..?
not sure if it makes a difference but he is EBF and recently started solids.
Any advice would be great!
Typical EASY for my son
