I am new to these forums and its my first time hearing about the EASY system.
My daughter has very bad reflux and feeds erratically sometimes every half hour, but max 2 hours apart. She hardly sleeps during the day max 20mins at a time, sometimes not at all, which leads to her being extremely cranky.
My public health nurse advised me to feed on demand when she was born, but this has led to many problems, constant feeding, constant crying, feeding to sleep etc.
During the day she falls asleep on the breast and as soon as I take her off she wakes.
The only routine we have is a bedtime routine. We bathe her at 5pm (it used to be 6pm but she gets too tired) then has a baby massage using lavender then goes into her bedroom which is darkened and has lullabies playing and she feeds for up to 3 hours until she goes into a deep sleep and I put her into her cot. I have tried putting her down before she goes into the deep sleep but she just screams and screams and screams with no let up.
She used to wake once during the night for a feed but the past two nights has been waking up to 6/7 times a night. The only way to get her back to sleep is feeding her.
She then wakes around 8am.
She is extremely fussy with her morning feeds, probably due to the reflux because most of her morning feed comes straight back up.
Basically, my question is, how do I start the EASY?? And where can I find more information as to how long between feeds, how much awake time and how much sleep time etc.
Any help would be extremely grateful!!
