Hi hun!
Have you checked out the sample routines? Any luck there? Hopefully a mom on here will have a 3.5 hour plan that they're on..

Hi for the last couple of days she is only taking between 2-3 ozs!?? dont understand?

the easiest way to quickly explain my day is she starts at 7am and her A time is only an hour 1.5 if im lucky, but then she wakes after an hour, so she is up for an hour before her feed and the day continues....
she feeds at 7, 10,1 4 and 7 and the  her DF between 10-11! she is not goi8ng through the night if she takes a full bottle at DF she will go through til 3am and then wake at 7.
but sometimes she wakes through the night every 3 hours but then still doesnt take a full 5oz bottle more like 3oz!!

I feel like i am not paying enough attention to get these routines sorted, i have other children and with my first i had all the time in the world to read BW books and look on here and even 3 years later you could set your watch by him!

thank you for help xx

was thinking of doing a 3.5 easy but with her A time not being any where close to the 2 hours it should be on 3.5 EASY, how would this work!
she is 11 weeks now and a good weight about 13 pound now!!

Hi Kitstym

I have EXACTLY the same problem... In fact ds is reducing his A time back to 1hr15 if anything as he's become so nosy that he's only able to be so busy for less time...!! But like your dd he's not necessarily ready for a feed after 3hrs...and sometimes he could do with a longer nap which he'd get if he was 4hrly!! CONFUSING!!!!

I too have an older child and feel that I don't have as much time to concentrate on this or I would add, the patience!!!!

I will wait with interest to see what replies you get!!

11 weeks..she's still really small to be on a 4 hour EASY. So yes, 3-3.5 hours is best. I would still want to do 3 hours.

This link is a good refresher:

Is she in any discomfort, you find, while she's eating? When she wakes at 1 hour is she happy/crying?

I can't imagine how limited your time is for sleep training and such with other children! Do you have any help?

Could you post your EASY in terms of
E - what time she wakes, what time she eats
A - her activity, what she did, this incl eating
S - how long she slept for, any wake ups, did she go back to sleep

Is she swaddled? Pacifier?
