Short sleeps

[KirstyG]

Hi am new to the site and just found EASY.  Have a 7 week old spirited / touchy baby and having real problems with crying all the time.  Am starting EASY today but was wondering what you do if baby only sleeps for about half an hour - hour at a time making it hard to keep with the EAS part of the routine without feeding more often than recommended (am breast feeding).  Any suggestions? 

Thanks

Welcome to the boards! 

A couple of things:
many moms find it difficult to implement prior to about 8 weeks for a couple of reasons.  Mostly because of the quick rate that the little ones are developing.  Crying takes a peak at about 8 weeks, so it's a bit easier to do sleep training at that time as they are starting to get more used to the sights and sounds and smells and sensations of this new world. 
The important thing right now is to focus on the order of Eat Awake Sleep.  Even if the Awake time is only but to do a diaper change. 

half an hour is a typical indication of being Over tired so you may need to put your LO down a bit quicker. 

Are you still using the swaddle?

Also, have you checked out these FAQ's for helping to extend sleep?

This will hopefully help you extend some of the naps.  The shorter nap is very normal developmentally and we mommy's generally have to teach our LOs to sleep.

HTH!
