I've been reading "The Baby Whisperer Solves All Your Problems" and I've noticed a few discrepancies between this site and Hogg's book.
(You can read my issues here:
HELP Early Wakings vs Night Wakings vs Early Bedtime)
I checked out the section on "Starting an EASY Routine After 4 months" to see if I needed to start from scratch, and I noticed that, according to Hogg, the typical A time for my DS (7.5 months) is 2-3 hours. I'm thinking, according to Hogg the 3 hour A time is suited more for a 9 month old! Based on the average A times on this site, my son should be awake for 3hrs - 3 hrs and 15 minutes.
Should I be putting him down earlier?
I'm very confused, exhausted and bewildered. Can someone please clarify this for me? I've been forcing my son to stay awake for at least 3 hours in hopes that it would help him nap better during the day and sleep better at night with little success.
Also, (again referring to the Introducing EASY section mentioned above) if my son wakes up at 5 a.m. and does not fall back to sleep after PU/PD, do I keep him up until 9 like Hogg suggests? That seems tortuous for both my baby and me!
Basically, I'm losing my mind. EASY was SO much easier with my first and I'm ready to throw in the towel!!!!
