 DD2 is 6 wo, been on 3 hours EASY since 2 wo, breastfed and being sleep trained since almost 3 weeks now.
 She wakes up 1 or 2 times per night and used to resettle quite easily after eating. The problem is when she poops and has to be changed, which obviously, wakes her up. If not the poop, then it's gas and she gets anxious to get it out and sometimes starts fussing and crying leading to an extra time to calm her down.
  During the day I can always have at least 2 x 1-5 /2 hrs naps plus others of 20, 45 mins, but it's rare to have EASAE and I realized that for the last 3 or 4 nights, it took longer to put her down when compared to when I do wind down for naps during the day. Is this a problem? I mean, will she get confused and will not relax having "A" times during the night? for naps I need  around 10 to 15 mins (if she's calm) to Settle her down and put in bed but last night, as example, I stayed with her for 1 hour!
   Do I have to start trying to eliminate the NF? I think she's too young for that, though...
   Does anybody have any thoughts?

Hi Jay,

I've been very busy this past three days and I think all I needed was to have more patience.
I was typing along DD2's EASY routine when I had some spare time (which was rare, YKWIM  ::)) and still haven't finished. Ugh!
As we could set bath and bedtime to a fixed time of the day, she is only waking once for a feed (at 1:30 - 2 am) and now is not taking too long to put her down. I hope I don't jinx myself by saying this  :-X. I am not sure whether one thing has to to with the other (setting the time and taking long to settle down), but the truth is that now we have a more consistent routine.
I hope we continue with this.
Thank you very much for your reply  :)
