We've been doing EASY since 6 weeks and it's working well for the most part. She's transitioning naturally to 3.5 hr schedule and our days are going well. Up until 2 weeks ago, she would go to sleep around 8:30-9:00pm, sleep 6 hours, eat, then sleep a few hours and get up at 7:00am. We went on a trip for a week and the schedule continued even though we were all in one hotel room.
Since we've gotten home, however, everything has fallen apart at night. She goes to sleep at 8:00pm (can't do any earlier because of my toddler's schedule) and I've introduced the dreamfeed at 10:00pm. Now she's up at 1:00am, 3:00am. 5:00am, 6:00am, 7:00am. I've tried to settle her at the earlier waking by rewrapping the swaddle, shh/pat, rocking even, but she wants to eat. I thought it was a growth spurt, but this has been going on for a week.
She's sucking her hands a lot and just rolled over a few time the other day. I find her sticking her legs up in the air a lot when she sleeps and is very restless from 5:00am - 7:00am. She's BF with a formula bottle for DF. I'm tempted to drop the DF because it doesn't seem to be doing any good. Her naps were a little unsettled on our trip, but we're getting over the 45 minute hump right now. She refuses a pacifier.
Our typical schedule:
E: 7:00am
A: play on mat, etc
S: 8:15am-9:00am
E: 10:00am
A: play
S: 11:30am -12:30pm or 1:00pm
E: 1:30pm
A: play
S: 2:30pm - 4:00pm (on a good day)
E: 4:30pm
A: play
S: 6:00pm for 45 minutes
E: 6:30pm
A: bouncy chair during dinner
E: 7:30pm for bed
S: 8:00-8:30pm asleep
E: 10:00pm DF
Up at 1:00am, 3:00am, 5:00am, 6:00am, 7:00am
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
