I have using EASY for the past two months and it has been absolutely wonderful. DS has worked up to sleeping 10 hours straight during the night, up for a 20-30 minute feeding and then sleeps another 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Our schedule has been:
8:30 wake
8:30-9:00 E
9:30-10:30 A
10:30-11:30 S
11:30-12:00 E
12:00-1:00 A
1:00-2:00 S
2:30-3:00 E
3:00-4:00 A
4:00-5:00 S
5:30-6:00 E
6:00-7:15 A
and at 7:15 we start bath, massage, a bottle and then bed by 8:00-8:30 (that seems to change)
The routine usually goes that way but varies based on the time he wakes up -- sometimes he sleeps until 9:30! The problem we have started to have over the past few days is that he screams and cries with tears streaming down his face when we try to put him down for his last two naps. He'll cry until he is allowed to stay up longer and then he doesn't look tired at all any longer! I'm starting to wonder if based on the fact that he is sleeping 11-12 hours a night that three naps is too many. Any advice would be appreciated!!!
The other questions DH and I are having are when to move him to his own crib in his own room instead of being in the bassinet next to our bed (it's definitely getting a little too small for him
). He is starting one full and two half days of day care in three weeks and we don't want too many transitions for him at one time. Any advice about putting him in his own crib?
Last, daycare......a big issue. I have fallen into the bad habit of feeding him a little before putting him down to sleep. But since he's been such a great sleeper and we have such wonderful nights we figured why fix something that isn't broken? We're worried about him napping at daycare and how bad naps have become. I have become terrified about going back to work because of this. Did anyone have their daycare continue EASY with their child? How did it go? Any tips?
Sorry this is long... a lot on my mind lately
