I hope we're turning a corner! Can you look at my EASY from yesterday and tell me if you see anything I should change? Her naps were great, but BT didn't go well.

BT woe
So here's where it all went wrong. We started going to the bedroom and changing into PJs, etc, around 7:30. I had her down at 8:00 (using shush-pat!), but she woke up again and I realized we didn't do a pre-BT feed, so I fed her. Tried and failed to put her down a few times -- each time I would get her to sleep, she would wake up again. At one point she was smiley and playful, so I let her kick around in her crib for a little while. I couldn't get shush-pat to work any more at this point. Eventually we got her to sleep at 9:30, but required bouncing and holding.
Her night sleep wasn't great either - kept waking every hour or two until 3:00, at which point she woke up with a big grin and wanted to play. D: So I let her kick in her crib for a few minutes until her happy sounds got less happy and then shush-patted her to sleep. She needed me to keep my arm on her to stop her legs and arms from moving, otherwise she kept waking back up. The rest of the night was OK, woke at 5a for a feed and then slept until WU.
This sounds like OT? But we were really trying not to push BT too late! Maybe we should have started BT routine even earlier? The 6:30 feed takes about 20 minutes, so maybe just 10-15 mins of activity and then straight to bed? She WAS pretty fussy, but I didn't want to put her down UT and end up with a nap...

EDIT: Yesterday was similar, although we started BT earlier and got her to bed by 8pm. But she kept waking up and needing me to shush-pat her back down all evening. And she kept waking up at night. She'd wake up waving her arms and legs around and rolling side-to-back-to-side etc. If I held all her limbs and shush-pat, she'd go back to sleep, but she kept re-waking back up after I let go. I can't hold her limbs all night! Only nursing seemed to get her to calm down and stop flailing. Sigh, she used to only wake up 2 or 3 times at night, but now it's much more
