Re PU/PD, I found this quite confusing when I read the books too. The technique can be used from three months but so long as you are using an age appropriate version. I would try with shh/pat first though. Shh/pay is a more gentle technique and if it works, is potentially less disruptive to an LO. Have you read here?
Shush-pat - How toIf your son is very even tempered he may well be angel or textbook, have you done the quiz in the book?
While EASY does provide a structure it is not meant to be a schedule. As such, it isn't really that different from feeding on demand. You will still be following your DS's cues for hunger and for sleep etc, but as Tracy explains in the book, by always doing these things in a set order your baby will learn to understand what to expect next. Babies and children are like adults in finding comfort from knowing in the main what is going to happen next. It will also help you to be responsive to him, if he's just woken and has a dry nappy but he cries, it's likely hat cry is for hunger iyswim.
You won't be creating a new problem as you're already doing a great job at following his cues and feeding on demand is essential for getting BF started

When looking at an EASY, A time includes feeding - so whether your LO is an efficient feeder or whether he takes a long time the A time would still be the same overall including any play and nappy changes etc. it is also worth noting that many BF babies are on a shorter EASY than their formula fed contemporaries, it is all about watching the cues. Many bf mummies say their LO didn't move to a 4 hr cycle until solids were introduced.
I would suggest the main thing is not to feed t sleep so always making sure there is some A after the E ends and getting a really good wind down routine in place.
If you like you could write down your DS's routine for the next couple of days and post them here and we can help you shift towards a more EASY type structure from there.
