Hi Stacy. So I read, re-read, and re-re-re-read all the sleep interviews as well as your suggestions.
It is going Ok... consistent 3hr EASY seems fine. Ally sleeps in her carseat due to severe reflux so patting tough (new meds are working great so will likely transition out of carseat this week). I have been keep a hand on her and standing there while she goes through the sleep cycle. I am not doing pu/pd - she is going to sleep in about 20 (no more than 30) minutes (with my physical presence). THat is fine right? If I thought she was going to get hysterical I would do pu/pd.
SO my next question ( I am sure you can guess what it is...) what do I do when she has fallen asleep near a feed? Since she could be on a 4hr EASY (she is 4.5 months with corrected age of just under 3.5 months) I am giving her the extra time (up to a half hour). I think that is OK, but really my head is spinning from reading everything. Essentially, I am supposed to interrupt her sleep, feed her, low-key activity for 10 minutes, and start the entire process over again, huh? At what point do I make the decision to wake her or let her sleep.
Everything is going well - but of course I am exhausted.
THanks for your continued support.
Julie
