When to feed if baby wakes early from a nap?

[charmie]

Oh Gosh!!!  Ok have faith in the test.  You can do it again once we get her settled into a routine and it will be more inclined towards 1 or 2 of the temperaments.  The 1st time I did the test dd was in a mess and the results were also quite messy    But after she was settled in the routine she was a completely different baby. 

Have you chosen which path to take?

had all  the same problems..Some days we just horrible..I would try to stretch the feeding slowly with a pacifier..Just by ten minutes every other day..And with the rocking I would try my best not to start that..My Lo was the  same waking early some days the shh/pat worked and other days lots of pick up put down and I mean LOTS...When they are so little like your it seam so hard..But stick with it there were lots of days I wanted to give up but it will come together..We are still tweaking his routine and he is 8 months..

Bobbyc, thank you so much for the encouragement.  It is sorely needed and I really appreciate it.  Though I don't wish what we're going through on anyone, it certainly helps to know that others have shared in the same struggles. 

Charmie, we're going to take a chance and follow the letter of the book for getting a baby DD's age who has never had a routine onto a routine for the first time.  Her heartbreaking, exhausted crying this afternoon as she struggles and struggles to fall asleep... Well, let's just say we love her too darn much to be able to stand it anymore.  It just kills us.  It's time for her to have some order to her life.  We're going to start tomorrow morning and follow Tracy's plan exactly.  We will be consistent and will not give up.  I will let you know how things go along.  Thank you so much again.  You've really been incredibly generous and kind.  I owe you flowers.
