3 1/2 month old about to implement EASY routing, but have ?'s

[meggles_79]

I've always woken my baby up at 7 but then she only eats about 2 1/2 oz and then usually falls asleep at 8:15.  She takes 45 min naps right now and then is hungry again when she wakes up. (and then only eats at the most to 3 oz)  So what I am asking is when we first start EASY it is going to be very difficult to have her go to 10'oclock to eat again because that little bit of formula doesnt hold her over til 10.  So what do I do?  This is basically our schedule all day long...eat between 2-4 oz some activity and sleep for 45min.  Then at night she gets up quite a bit because she doesn't get enough food in her during the day and I feed her then ( which I know is not good)  I was just wondering if you have any advice for me before I go ahead with it.  I will really appreciate it.

I'd start by NOT waking her, but waiting for her to wake naturally and 'ask' to be fed.  If you can get 4-6 oz into her for the first feeding, it will probably be easier to work on the rest.  When we started, I worked on the spacing of feedings first and then the rest. 

Good luck!

What does the rest of your day look like?

I actually did wake my DD up at 7:00 every morning to get her started at the same time, but it somewhat is child dependant as well as routine.
