I am afraid I don't really have good news...I start feeling this is not working for us at all or I'm doing it totally wrong.
we are 5 solid weeks now on the EASY routine, she is easily on the 4h schedule for feed but in all this time she was able to fall asleep on her own twice (twice!!!), every other time I have to be there and help her to sleep. Which is fine, I don't mind it really, but I thought she would have eventually been able to do it herself.
While days are fine, nights are a complete hit and miss, again last night was up every 2 hours (crying) and needed lots of comfort to resettle. I admit I was in tears. I'm going back to work in 10 days and dreading it. I think I can count on one hand the nights where she woke up once for her feed around 3.30-4 and every other night has been at least 2-3-4-5 wakings, every time crying. Seriously crying.
I'll write down here her current routine, but to be honest, I think I'm missing the point on how to help her settle rather than being doing something wrong with the routine. She occasionally may be OT if she skips the CN (I thought she was ready to drop it but more often than not she falls asleep while feeding if she doesn't have one!) but definitely not always, and this is why I don't know what to do.
