Hello again,
I have some questions regarding our easy. My dd2 has been on easy since the beginning, is napping well during the day and goes down well for her naps. But somehow she cannot settle well in the evening. She is not crying, but very very restless. We have been strugglong for weeks now.
My questions are:
- how important is it to stick to time schedule at this age? I'm quite flexible and only make sure that the A times are right. But if the day starts at 7 or 7:30 or even 8 I simply adjust the routine. Is it a problem? The start of the day depends very much on whether ir not she woke up at night ( usually around 4 am)
- does her day look ok to you?
4:00 am - E
8:00 am - E
9:20 am - S
11:30 - E
12:50 -S
14:30 - E
15:45 -S
17:00 - E
18:10 -S
18:50-E
Bath
19:30 bed
It's 21:20 and she is still not sleeping! Is it too much sleep during the day?
We usually do a dream feed at around 23:00. And here sometmes she drinks well, sometmes not. But whether or not she wakes up at 4 am does not depend on how well she drinks.
- could it be that a 4 am wake up is habitual at this age?
Thank you so much for your thoughts!
