When / how to change from 4 hour EASY routine?
« on: February 28, 2007, 03:10:08 am »
My DS is 6 months and is on a 4 hour EASY routine, i was wondering when, if and how i change him to a 4.5 or 5 hours EASY routine, our routine looks like this at the moment:-

6:30/7 am awake
7:15 BF - 2 x tsp Apples/Pears and pumpkin
7:45 - bottle - 180 /210 mls
9/9:30 nap
11am awake
1145 Bottle -210 mls
1:20 nap
3/3:30 awake
3:45 bottle - 180 / 210mls
4:15 solids - 2x tsp Peaches/pumpkin/pears (DS loves his fruit :))
5:15 bath
6:10 bottle 180/210 mls
7pm bed

why exactly do you want to change his routine if he's napping so good for you?
your routine looks great :)

besides, it's not 4hrs routine anyway- his awake times are longer than 2 hrs and you're on two naps a day, right?

SO, don't worry, you're doing wonderful :)

Hi,

Don't fix was isn't broken. Your EASY looks similar to mine and my DS is 8 months now. You might find his second A time might increase slightly first, but then so will his nap. My DS is just about stretching to 2 3/4 to 3 hours A time and 1 1/2 to 2 hour naps. I know this is of no help but thought I would post anyway. In the meantime - enjoy!

Anna- good amount of activity time and good feeding routine are the keys here I think.

think you guy's are right, it's not really a problem just thought that as he was now older he should be on a different EASY routine...strange isn't when things are all good you still looking for something to fix  ::).

My LO has always been a great napper..only when we missed his grow spurt at 4 months and did not change up a size of nipples on his bottle did he start doing 45 Min's naps as he was hungry but could not be bothered to suck that much..DS is a Spirited/touchy so wants it now but doesn't want to change :o.

I found that by increasing my LO's A time by 5 Min's in the morning he was going to sleep better and for longer....before he just wasn't tried enough.

At the moment we are in week 2 of no wrap and no dummy or paci as others call them..so far so good...we just have to re-settle when he gets himself up to the top of his cot on his tummy and can't yet roll back by himself ::)
