Another ?

Hello,
I have another question about the 3 hour EASY...  What if DD wakes up from her nap and it's still 1 hour until her next feed?  If she's not hungry what do I do?  If she stays awake until her next feeding (around 3 hours from the beginning of the last feeding), won't that be too much awake time and at the wrong time (before eating, not after).

TIA

How old is your DD? In general in that situation, if you can't pat/shush her back to sleep, I'd do A until next feed time (if you have to feed 15 minutes early once in a while is OK too - just keep working at it). Then just at least separate out the feed from the nap/sleep with a diaper change.

Sorry about that, she's 5 weeks old.

If she can't make a 3-hour EASY you can always try 2.5 hour EASY at her young age and move it closer to 3 hours over the course of 1-2 weeks... Totally fine to do A before E though.
