Thank you all for this great forum. I've read through all the different sections and have found many answers and ideas.
I'm struggling a bit with finding the right routine for DD. I've been doing EASY since she was 3 weeks, but mainly focused on keeping a 3 hour schedule and wasn't all that consistent in terms of bedtime and naptime.
She has been slowly moving towards a 3.5 hr routine as she seems to handle longer A times.
She usually NW every 3 hours after DF so I've been tweaking her bedtime and DF to find a better combination.
Last night worked much better than it has before as she went to bedt a 8pm and DF at 10pm and slept till 3am which is an improvement.
However, this put her last NW at 6.30 (i'm going for an 8pm WU and treat anything before that ast NW) I fed her and she went back to sleep for an extra hour. My problem is that then her E would be almost at the same time as her S, so I tried feeding her at 8.30 at which time she fell asleep for 20mins and woke up.
When she does this then her sleep time is pushed back because she is not tired.
I don't know how to deal with this, she seems really tired at 8.30, but if I put her to sleep then I would have to wake her to feed her.
Our days look something like this (+- 1 hour)
WU 7-8
E 7-8.30 (depends on last NW)
A 1.45mins
S 1.30mins (resettle after 45 mins)
E 11.30-12
A 1.45mins
S 1.30mins (resettle after 45 mins)
E 3-4
A 4-6
S 45mins (need to wake her up and can't l it be too late or she wants this to be her BT)
E 7-7.30
A bath
BT 8-8.30
I hope it's clear and makes sense.
Any input is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!!
