After 4-hour E.A.S.Y
« on: December 04, 2009, 08:24:43 am »
Is there a link/thread to inform me when to change E.A.S.Y?

For example is there an age where you NEED to change from the four hour schedule?

The book doesn't go any further than 4 hour E.A.S.Y so I am unsure when to change things up.

THANKS!

After the 4 hrs EASY you just slowly continue to extend the A as their cues and naps demonstrate - but still feed roughly every 4 hrs.

It essentially becomes a 4+hrly EASY, especially when they are on solids as well.

After 6 mths the routine really is more tailor made to suit the baby and their needs, but still uses some earlier principles.

This is tough for me as I like the guidance the book provided to get where I am now. I guess its up to me to go with the flow with what my child seems to want when he wants it?

I remember being in your shoes and feeling like no one understood me when I kept saying "I don't understand!!!"  And I had lots of reassurance on here that I would figure it out and it would all fall into place and I kept responding "Uhhh you ladies have a lot of faith in me for NO reason, I swear, I have NO clue!!!" 

And ....  they were right.  It DOES fall into place!  I spent a lot of time reading through the feeding solid foods board and the sample easy routines for my DS's age, and just reading various different posts on different boards here in general. Getting a skim of other people's concerns and issues and reading responses and filing all of the info away in my brain for later (could never remember to buy milk and bread though....)

As Liz says it is a matter of A times increasing, as they do, and eventually feeds get sort of juggled and slotted in around naps in whatever timing works best for you and LO.

I also really liked the "instructions" that came with having the routines in the book, but there are sample routines that you can read through, here:
