* Do I continue with the 7 am feed even if i feed as late as 6am like this morning? Ie. Eat at 6 then at 7 as per routine. If you feed as late as 6, I would probably skip the 7AM feed and just tweak the schedule a bit. For instance, since your "ideal" routine would be at 7, 10, 1 etc. If she is still napping at 9 (after a 6AM feeding) I would let her sleep. You may end up feeding her at 9:30, but it is closer to the "schedule". Hope that makes sense.....
* for babies under 3 mths I read that PU/PD isn't efficeint. instead we are using sssh-pat and paci. Any other suggestions? PU/PD usually is overstimulating, especially at around 8 weeks...you should be able to tell though if you tried it. THough, I myself have used it in a 3mos old with success. If pat/sssh is working I would go with that. Or any other calming tool you see that works, but avoiding "props". Have you tried a pacifier - they can be used as a tool as well to prolong a feed.
* Also is the times imperative. ie. can we slip by 1 hr when she has a latter feed (e.g.6 am) maybe go through to 8 or 9am or stick to the 7 am to help her understand the routine?? You will find that times are going to need to be tweaked as you go on. As long as you are on a good routine, times don't have to be "exact". I think that goes along with the answer to the first question? But I may be understanding you wrong :wink:
