Hello, I've been doing EASY and specifically PU/PD with my 6.5 month old daughter for 10 days. There have been many improvements!!! There have been days where I could lay her down drowsy and walk out of he room as she fell asleep, and other days where she fights sleep every step of the way. She is crawling, started cruising today, and standing so when I put her in the crib she frequently pops up into standing or sits up. We have tried 2, 2.5, and 3 hour wake times. She typically does well in the morning (60-90 minute nap and wakes up happy) and may go right down or have to be PD a couple times. The mid-day nap she will fight for 45 minutes to an hour and then sleeps 30-45 minutes and wakes up crying. At this time I'll do PU/PD until her next feed or until she starts hungry crying (typically 15-30 min). She's fighting the catnap in the evening as well so we upped her bedtime from 7pm which was probably too late for her to 6pm which she doesn't fight. She will be up for 3.5-4 hours prior to bedtime which seems like too much. She also went from waking up twice a night (5 hours in between each) to nurse to every couple hours the past 2 days. She also fought the morning nap the past two days which typically she goes down quite easily. Yesterday we tried a longer wake time and today we went back to 2 hour which due to her activity level seems to be better for her. She is still not really eating food (we're working on it).
Typical day:
Wake 6:30 happy and playing in crib
Eat 6:30 Solids 7:30
Nap 8:30-9:45- wakes up happy and playing
Eat 10:15/10:30
Nap 12:30- fights it and wakes up furious
Eat 2:15/2:30
Eat 4:30
Bedtime routine: tub 5:30, Eat 5:45, bed 6:00)
Wakes twice to nurse
I know it's a lot of info, sorry about that. I'm in this for the long haul and I'm staying the course but would love some feedback/advice. Thank you so much for anyone who can help!
