Hi!
I am fairly new to BW - LO has been on EASY a few weeks now. He is 3 mos old, and I think he may be spirited but it is hard to tell - he seems like a little bit of everything. Or maybe so overtired that it makes it hard to tell?? LO is typically getting 12-13 hours of sleep total per day - I feel like this is not enough and he is overtired.
Anyway, we have run into a few difficulties...
We are trying to use a 3 hour easy
LO does not get up at the same time every day (not even close - 4am, 5am, 6am, or 6:30am) so it is hard to get easy started in the morning so that anything is even remotely at the same time of day each day
LO starts to get cranky after about an hour of A time, sometimes after just 45 minutes of A time
LO takes really short naps - 30-45 minutes, so he wakes up too early to eat. However, it is soooo hard to hold him off until 2.5 hours because he seems to have created an association between wake up time and eating time. He will scream like crazy until I feed him, even if it has only been 1.5 hours since the last feed.
LO ends up taking 4 or 5 short naps throughout the day, and as the day goes on he seems to get more and more tired and more difficult to get to sleep. The exception is bed time, which has become very easy - he goes to sleep now without even being patted.
Any thoughts?
