HELP!!

Hi,
My baby girl is almost 5 1/2 mths and has sleep issues days and nights.

For starters she is on a 4hr EASY routine but I cannot get her to nap for more than 30 to 40 minutes at a time. I use the 4S method to get her down (with soother) and that only 5 minutes. When she wakes up I need to do the 4S again but it takes much longer and sometimes is not successful. She is just not sleepy anymore. She is solely breasted currently.

As for the night, first problem is that we can't seem to put her down at 7:30. The earliest is 8:30 and sometimes not till 9:30 or 10. I do a feed at 7 and a dream feed at 11:00. Them the "fun" starts. She's up once between 1 and 3. Them again at 4 then 5 then 6. It's just chaotic. Sometimes I feed her sometimes I don't I just don't know what I am suppose to do.

Can anyone help??!!

Hi there, sorry you are having such a hard time. Could you post your EASY and we can see if there are some changes that need to be made to help her out? If you can just put maybe this past day or what things are usually like like this:
E7:00
A
S9:30
E11:00
A
S1:30
and so on, just an idea of what is going on lately.
As far as the short naps, a lot of that is developmental, you can help them somewhat with routine, but they WILL pass with time, usually around the 6 month mark . I am sure we can help you out!
