Hello,
This post is a cry for help and practical advice out of frustration after my previous post of similar content.
My son is 7 weeks old. I have been trying to establish EASY for the past 3 weeks, but can't.
Main reason is that he does not nap well. Also, he is addicted to breast for falling asleep
At his age he should have 3 good 1,5-2 hour naps and a catnap a day (or even more!). He has 3 naps a day of various lengths. Never a catnap.
A week ago he started sleeping for only 30 min on his first morning nap. My attempts at resettling him back to sleep fail almost always.
His second nap can be 2 hour long or another 30 mins - God only knows how long! Also, the time of nap #2 is screwed 'cuz nap #1 went all wrong.
His afternoon nap is the only longer nap he takes, usually 2 hours or more, if I don't wake him.
As for catnaps, it takes as long to wind him down, to make him fall asleep, as the length of the nap, which becomes senseless (not that I stop trying!)
He is usually in bed by 8pm and sleeps well at night, waking up 2-3 times for a feed.
Unfortunately, I can't even post his day routine in EASY format as he does not have one
![Cry :'(](https://smiley.babywhispererforums.com/Smileys/classic/cry.gif)
I want him to have a routine and I really want to break the habit of feeding to sleep as I often have to feed him TWICE in a 3 hour interval.
I know I should start with establishing a routine before tackling breast dependency. But WHERE DO I BEGIN???
Appreciate any insights! Thank you!
