Hi there LizzieC
Firstly, please bear in mind that your lo is still very young, and not many mums are able to implemement EASY fully until their babe is around 3 months. There is obviously a period of adjustment once your baby is born. They do not know what they are "supposed" to do and need gentle guidance and steering in the right direction.
You can try to follow EASY quite loosely at this age, but bear in mind that your lo will probably not comply for a good while. Remember that the idea is for the routine to be flexible, and the fact you are getting consistent 3 hourly feeds is fantastic. The rest will start to fall more into place as your lo gets older and around 3 months, you should be able to see a rough pattern for him, and then you will be able to make it more structured.
I hope that helps you a little.
Also when your baby is rooting, are you sure it is hunger. Young babies have an inbuilt "need" to suck, so that may be what he is rooting for, rather than true hunger. In this case a dummy is always well worth a try
