Hello Hello!

Well I have been spending a lot of time on Shyene Rowley's site.  I really like her approach, but its a little hard to get anything but general information...and that can be frustrating.  We are doing much better with the routine.  She had her first real second nap yesterday, she slept for nearly 3 hours!  That sure beats the 20-45 min ones she typically does!

Yes I agree completely about the site...I found the case studies quite usefull and did a search on Sheyne to find out her tips and tricks...a bit of hard work but there's some great stuff there.

It sounds like you are making great progress.  SO HAPPY TO HEAR THAT :)

Congrats on your next little victory, Tamica! That wind down routine sounds great! Good for her and good for you! And now a real nap! WOW! I bet you never thought it would happen!

How are things progressing?

Hi Tamica

I was reading through all of your posts again this morning and I'm so glad that you're making progress.  I realised that we didn't respond to your routine/schedule questions.  Not sure if you still need this info - but just in case the following EASY routine (which is on the EASY board FAQ sheets) is an example routine for 4months+

E: 7.00 wake up and feed
A: 7.30
S: 9.00 (for 1.5-2hr nap)
Y: your choice
E: 11.00
A: 11.30
S: 1.00 (1.5-2hr nap)
Y: your choice
E: 3.00
A: 3.30
S: 5.00 or 6.00 or somewhere in between – catnap
Y: your choice
E: 7.00 (cluster feed at 7 and 9 during a growth spurt)
A: bath
S: 7.30 bedtime
Y: the evening is yours
E: 10 or 11pm dreamfeed (until 7 or 8mths or whenever solid food is firmly established).
