Hi there! I just found this Aug-Sept thread. My DS was born Aug 2, and is now 14 weeks. He's a really happy little guy (well, not so little--he's about 14-15lbs), but my question is this: When do I go to a 4-hour EASY? Right now we are a loose 3-3 1/2 hours. He gets a 6-7 oz. each feed, plus nursing at night and in the mornings. I'm afraid if I change to 4 hours he will start getting up more in the night (right now it's once for feeding and usually once for soothing--maybe a feed). I can't seem to add any more oz. during day feeds because he spits it all up or just won't take it. His naps are kind of crazy, but we're working on them. He currently gets about 1.5-1.75hrs A time, and will sleep 1 hour in the morning, about 1.5hr in the afternoon (if I soothe him after 45 min--we use a paci), and about 40 min. catnap in evening. He goes down around 7/7:30 and is up for the day between 8 and 9 (depending on 1 or 2 feeds at night).
Ok, that became much longer than I intended. I guess I want to make sure we're on the right track. If you have any suggestions about 4 hour EASY, I would appreciate it!

p.s. Do you think it's ok we soothe with a paci? It works like a charm--I just don't want it as a prop! (been there, done that with ds)
