When does everything fall into place?
« on: September 13, 2005, 23:04:13 pm »
We are at 8.5 weeks with DS, and the pattern is fairly routine, but still there are days when he totally gets screwed up.   When does it become more predictable in terms of times?

Those days are completely normal  :D

From my experience...I'd say 5-7 months is fairly predictable.  Then around 8-10 you have to tweak a little bit again.  And from then on it's mostly smooth sailing  :D  The goals of EASY is to get them on a "routine" of eating after sleeping, though this sometimes needs to be tweaked when transitioning or they take short naps.  This helps avoid feeding to sleep/snackers and it is soo much easier to read your babies cues.

For example...my SIL said to me a few months ago "how do you know she's hungry if she isn't crying"  :lol:  :shock:  I LOVE E.A.S.Y.  :D

Thank you for your response Noelle.   

I am a FTM, so I feel like I am trying to do everything "right".   Granted, he is just over 8 weeks.   But I want a more predictable life!   :D
