My lo will be 4 months at the end of this week. He is presently on a 3.5 hr EASY...we are moving tomorrow so we thought we would wait t'ill after we moved to move him to a 4 hr EASY. He is very large 21.5 lbs and would easily move to 4 hrs b/w feeds but will likely struggle with increased A time. He has also coincidentally gotten more cranky...I am assuming he still needs that extra sleep.
I usually rock in a rocking chair or bounce gently on a ball and shh/pat or sing/pat (cause I am sick of shhing!) until his eyes are closed. So, just when he falls asleep. Then I put him down. He often half wakes when I put him down so he needs shhing and sometimes a paci. This whole process usually only takes about 5 min., then i sit with him for the 20min. But when he wakes after 30-35min I often have to sit in the rocker for 15min before he even closes his eyes completely....he fights napping like it's his job even though he is obviously still tired sometimes.
Another question: how do I introduce more A time when he seems to struggle with the time he has now....ie moving to 4 hr EASY
Gracias!
