EASY for 4 week old?????

[AZMOM]

I am just wondering what other EASY routines look like for 4 week olds.  Our EASY routine is still a little different from day to day but we are pretty much within a certain time for eating.  THe sleep has been either little cat naps or nice little 1 - 2 hour naps during the day.  Last night DH and I had difficulty getting DS to go down for the night.  I'm just curious what other's are doing and what wake time is for most 4 week olds out there.  Thanks!!!

What part of Arizona?  I have family in the Phoenix area!

My DD is now 9.5 WO, but when she was 4WO she slept a lot!  She was pretty easy to keep on a routine at that time, but she would take 40-45 minutes to eat and then a quick diaper change and back off to dreamland.  There's a post on the General Sleep Board that has the awake/sleep times for babies of various ages, but I found that my DD has always slept more than average.

Thanks!  Yes, my ds pretty much eats and sleeps up until a few days ago and now I have notice he has become more alert and awake. Usually his diaper change and maybe a little looking around is the extent of his Activity time.  Now he is up more .  I may be missing some of his sleepy cues too.  I am often preoccupied with my 3 year old.   WHen my dd was 4 weeks she did mostly the eating and sleeping around the clock - she was a preemie.  I was just wondering since he was to term and didn't have the problems my daughter started out with.  Again thanks!!  We live about 30 miles south of Phoenix!  I'm not sure if you ever heard of Casa Grande.
