I see a lot of posts about switching to 4 hour EASY. I've posted a couple of times on this also. I'm having trouble adjusting her routine from 3.5 hours to 4. She can go 4 hours between feeding but can't stay up for 2 hours straight except in the mornings. She will usually stay up for 1.5 hours and then sleep 45 minutes, up for about 30 minutes and sleep another 45. I know the 45 minute naps means her A time isn't long enough but after 1.5 hours, she's either falling asleep, yawning a lot or starting to get fussy. If I wait too long, she won't be able to get herself to sleep and will need my help.
Plus, she'll sleep 12 hours at night so I don't want bedtime to be at 6 or even 6:30 because honestly it's too hard for me to be awake that early. With the 3 hour EASY, her bedtime was 7:30 which was great but I can't seem to adjust 4 hour EASY to fit with that bedtime. I'm sure it's because she isn't exactly on 4 hour EASY - it's more like 3.5/4 hour. Also, she is sleeping through the night most nights (sometimes she's a mess though and is up once or even twice during the night but I really think it's because her days haven't been settled yet). But sleeping through the night sometimes means she'll wake up after only sleeping 11 or 11.5 hours because she's hungry but I don't want to feed her at 6:30 when she wakes up and is still tired and then put her back to sleep because I'm afraid that will confuse her and mess up the routine - or is that what I should do? I can tell she's still sleepy at that time because her eyes are red and it's hard to get her to stay awake for the entire 2 hours. It usually ends up being about an hour and 40 or so minutes.
Thanks for any suggestions.
