my 4 mo old son & i are new to EASY - just started yesterday. why the catnap? why not just go to bed 1/2 hour earlier? and he's been waking at 6am for over a month. if i end up going from 7pm to 6am with one DF, isn't that good enough? or should i push him to 7am?
also, he's never taken a pacifier. any ideas on how to get through the wee hours without feeding him? or will i just be doing PU/PD until he passes out?

i do offer a feed - the 1st nite it was @ 3:45, the 2nd @ 2:45, and last nite again @ 3:45. i was starting to think it was habitual, but he really does eat.
now my concern is that i'm holding him too long before i put him back down. after dozens of PU, he'll take a while to calm down, by which time he's asleep in my arms, which is counterproductive - arg! hopefully it'll get better, as we're only on day 4 of switching from 3 hr easy to 4 hour easy. he was never on a routine before, but he was eating every 3 hours. i didn't want to try to do the 4 hour easy right away - thought it would be easier on him to use the examply in the book.
