Hi everyone, I've been reading this forum for a week or so now and have got lots of great info and advice about EASY, which we started with my 8 week old daughter last week. It seems to be going well, except when we miss her tired signs... But that is something I m working on!
She did have stomach issues due to antibiotics I was taking during that week, but I stopped taking them and she seems to have taken to the routine really well

Our issue is she has such a tiny activity window, we are starting the wind-down approx 45 mins after she wakes up, which isn't a problem, any more time awake and she tends to melt down and become really hard to settle at all, so with this time frame she is asleep within 10 minutes of getting her in her bed. BUT, then she has a big nap until her next feed time.
For example this morning I woke her at 7, fed and changed her and tried to have a chat but within 30 minutes she was yawning and getting jerky, so I swaddled, did a short wind down and put her in her cot. So that means she is having a 2.30 hour nap. Is that right?!?
Also because of this, she goes through multiple sleep cycles. She normally is ok on the first 45 minute transition, but can't seem to settle herself at 1.30. Which is kind of why I think her nap is too long, but she is tired and yawns and drifts back to sleep if we pat her, but wakes up and cries as soon as we stop, so for the last 45-60 mins of her nap we have to constantly pat her.
This morning at the 1.30 hour wake up, she had burst out of her swaddle, so I got her out of the cot to re swaddle her and did a mini wind down with her and that seemed to settle her for the next hour until her feed time. Is this something I should do, or should I try the sleep to wake thing, or am I missing something really obvious?!?!
Thanks everyone!
