My daughter is 7 weeks old today, and we just started to implement the EASY routine. Our biggest challenges are: 1) keeping her awake for activity time during the day (so that she'll sleep at night) 2) keeping her awake to eat - she constantly falls alseep at the breast and sometimes cannot be woken up no matter what I try!
Our schedule so far today:
8:40am Eat
8:55 Activity (change diaper, get dressed etc)
Yawned 2x by 9:15, so put her down for nap, comforted her (patting/sh'ing)
9:50 Nap
11:40 I woke her up to Eat
Changed diaper, but will not stay awake for activity time at all
12:00 Nap
What can I do to help her stay awake to get her on this EASY schedule? I worry that with her sleeping so much during the day, she won't sleep at night (a problem we've been having for the past few weeks). Also, she's only eating about 10-15 minutes at each feeding (she's never eaten for very long periods, but at one point was up to 20-25 minutes per feeding). She is gaining weight well, though.
Any help on implementing the EASY plan would be truly appreciated!
