hi all!
was wondering if 0530hr. is considered a nightwaking and if i should bf her when my dd#2(6.5mos) wakes at this time? she cannot be consoled with a ssshhpat or a paci when attempted and seems to fall back asleep when nursed(gentle removal method) and then wakes at 0730hr.(bf'ed) for the day. this is day four of our EASY attempt. i have noted this is not a mantra cry but an escalating cry .dd#2 sleeps in our room in a pack and play beside our bed. i am not ready to have her sleep in the same room(2 bedroom apt.) with my 2.5 yo dd#1 yet.
heres the dirt.....

ssshptt/paci(able to put in own mouth when it's within her reach)/ gentle removal from bfWhat do you do for A time and how long is it?
usually 2.5-3 hours, play with sister on floor/exersaucer/ in sling for walksAre there developmental issues such as teething or milestones?
rolling, possibly teething as she is drooling excessivelyHave you introduced cereal? Why, how much, and how many times a day? (for LO’s under 6 months)
eating 2x a day.Do they have a prop? If so what is it?
paci and ME... 
Do they have a lovie?
glowwormso based on this info, should i be feeding her again at 0800hr when she wakes for the day or not feed her at 0530hr? or is alright to be feeding her both times?
please feel free to make any comments about my schedule if you see anything odd about it, as i said this is day four and we're still tweaking things out.
my main reason for starting EASY was sleeping training, she had become too dependant on the breast to fall asleep so i wanted to teach her to sleep independantly.... whole other topic, i know..lol. i am seeing some progress and i think we're all happier for it!
thanks for reading and your input,
carole
