how long does easy take if you start late?
« on: February 18, 2006, 14:38:11 pm »
I want to start easy with my 8 month old.  Has anybody else started this late and how long did it take you?  we are already on the 4 hour feed and she does nap well.  Any ideas?

Hi there,
Just thought Id give you my 2 cents, since no one else has replied. I started EASY @ 3 months with my son..and it does take a while to get everything down. BUT I noticed changes within 3 days of consistent EASY. Every baby is different, but if you have a good sleeper on your hands, then hopefully it won't be long at all.

Thanks,
I real need the encouragement.  My lo will be 8.5 months once I finally start.  She is teething right now.  but I am taking 10 days off work to so this let's hope that is enough.

No problem, I know how you feel.
Whar type of routine is your baby on now?
My LO is 9 months tomorrow...and just an FYI for you--here is our schedule
Wake 7:30 AM
Eat 7:40ish(bottle 6 oz)
Solids 8:30 AM (A time till he goes to sleep between 9:30-10:30ish) --depends on him from day to day..sometimes 2.5 hours awake, sometimes just 2
Sleep from 9:30ish to 11 am(this is always subject to his BM's)
Eat 1130(bottle (6oz)
Outing to the gym till 1-1:30
Solids 1:30
Sleep 2-2:30ish to 4pm(apprx)
Eat 4-4:30(6 oz Bottle)
Solids 5:30
bath 7 pm
Bed 7:30
Lately this is very accurate....the only problem I have is the afternoon nap. He fights it a lot sometimes, and then there are times when he refuses to go down..so I let him stay up till 7 pm...just a bit of an earlier bed time.
Let me know how you're doing!
