Difficult with E.A.S.Y after baby only takes 45 min naps!
« on: May 30, 2006, 23:16:45 pm »
Hi guys! I have just started my LO on E.A.S.Y.  Its been about 4 days now.. and it seems to be working and it seems it might just save my sanity!! I just have one problem!  Nathan is 11 weeks old, and he only takes 45 minute naps..  He takes 4 a day, and then will sleep from 11-5AM and then back to sleep until 7:30.  The only thing is that when I feed him, it usually only takes 15 minutes (E) I give him 4 oz and then we do activity(A) for about 1 1/2 hours, and then he is ready for sleep(S) .he will only sleep for 45 minutes ( I have tried extending these naps, but I think he is just a short napper)  So that is only 2.5 hours in total for the E.A.S.Y plan.. and by the time he wakes up he is not ready to eat... He just spits a lot of it up!  now I dont want to get off track of the E.A.S.Y so I don't know what to do to pass the time until he is ready to eat again??  Do I do activity?  Do I feed him a little amount?  Will this mess up the entire schedule? Im not sure what to do, any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Could you please post your routine in more detail for us please?
What methods have you used to extend his naps and how long did you try for?

His routine goes like this.

7am eat, goes back to sleep until 9am
9:20 eat and activity until 10:00
10:00-10:40 nap
11:30 eat activity 11:40-12:30
12:40-1:20 nap
1:20 eat activity until 2:20
2:20-3:00 nap
3:00 eat activity until 4:20
4:20-5:00 nap
5:00 eat activity until 6:20
6:20-7:00 nap
7:00 eat activity until 8:20
8:20 until 9:00 nap
9:00 eat bath time and wind down at 9:20 until 10:20
10:30 bed
wakes at 5:00AM to eat
goes back to sleep until
7:00AM and then all over again


I have tried to extend his naps by staying in the bedroom with him, replacing his pacifier, and doing shh/pat... he will drift off but then he jolts and wakes up again... I will stay in there for like 30 minutes trying to get him to go back to sleep, but he just wont settle down..
