hi there!
I've been trying to use the EASY routine with my ds (he's 15 weeks) but we never really got into schedule (ie.. eat at 7am, sleep at 9am, eat at 10am, etc.) mostly because he wakes up at different times in the morning and also because he has not been such a great napper for the past few weeks. (He
was taking a mongo nap in the afternoons, but now I'm
lucky if he nap 1 hour at a time)
Here are my questions:
1) If/When he wakes up before his next scheduled feeding, I make him wait. Sometimes he has to wait an hour. So I am skipping to the Activity before the Eating. Then he finally eats and will stay up for just a little while and then wants to sleep. This pattern continues throughout the day and instead of EASY, it starts looking more like E.S.A. and very few, sporadic Y's. How do I keep to the routine? What should I do with him if he's not napping when he's supposed to?
2) Does the book recommend waking a baby up for a feeding (like in the morning)? (The older generation keeps telling me sleep is just as good as food and that I shouldnt wake him up)
I have 94850394853490 other questions but I'll start with these. :lol:
TIA!!
Joanne
