Hi Girls! Its been 5 days since I started E.A.S.Y, and it seems to be working wonders for my little boy.. We have recently just got Nathan to sleep by himself (he was using our chests as a bed, and would absolutely not sleep anywhere else!) that has changed and he is now co-sleeping with me (I plan on moving him to the crib once he has established that he can sleep by himself).... Anyways todays routine went like this:
9:30 AM wake Eat 4oz + cereal
Activity until 11:30
11:40-12:30 nap
12:30-1:15 activity (because his nap was short)
Eat 1:15
Activity 1:30-2:00
2:15 until 4:30 nap (the longest nap he has ever taken, he usually only takes 45 minute naps, but I have been trying to extend them by patting/shh replacing soother, etc, today it worked but I had to go in every 45 mins) should I have woken him up? I went in when he woke up the last time and just picked him up and woke him up, but he still seemed tired!
Eat 4:30
Activity 4:30-5:10 only 40 mins activity and he was already yawning..
5:20 until now nap..... still napping
I don't know why he napped for so long today, and why he is so tired.. Last night was the first night I let him sleep in my bed.. He went to bed at 8:30 until 1:30, I fed him, then he woke up at 3:30 and then I pat/shh back to sleep until 4:30, and then he wouldn't go back to sleep until 5:30... do you think these frequent wakings caused him to be so tired today?
Sorry for all the questions, I just really need your advice!
Thanks
Angela
