Hi, I have recently read the book and have been trying to implement EASY for a week now. Before trying this Ethan was feeding (mainly breast) during the day about every 2 hours, sometimes longer and in the hot weather sometimes a little shorter. He was going down to bed about 9 after a bath/bedtime ritual, and a couple of feeds. He would then wake between 1:30 and 2:30 and again between 4:30 and 5:30.
Yesterday I thought we had cracked it. His daytime routine was perfect apart from a slightly short nap in the afternoon. he even went down for a catnap in the early evening before his bath. He took his DF at 10pm and went back to sleep only to wake at 12:30, 1:30, 3:50, 5:30 and 6:30!!!!!! He has never done that before! Each time we tried shh-pat and the dummy and he was always hungry and taking either 4-6 oz of formula or 30-40 minutes at the breast!!!
Today he is restless and seem constantly hungry! Have we created a monster or is this a growth spurt, and if so how do we deal with it so we are not totally worn out!
Any advice welcome!!!
