Amy,
Sounds like your lo is going through a gwoth spurt too. Have you spoken to your pediatrician to see if maybe she is lactose intolerant? Or has reflux?
I agree that many people, including babies, don't want to eat as soon as they get up. My ds usually eats 1 hour after waking. However, the fact that she is refusing it all day long may be the indication of a bigger problem.
I think you need to find a way to get back to EASY and away from AESY. She may not be feeding well because she's overtired by the time she's eating. Causing her to not eat well, not sleep well since she's probably waking because of lack of calories. Also, EASY is going to help you TONS to read her cues. Right now sleep and hunger are fused into the same time of day. So it may be hard to read if she's hungry or sleepy. Slowly start adding a small amount of activity between the time she feeds to the time she goes down to sleep. You can start slowly, reading a story or some cuddling.
Could you try EASY for a few days, without trying to feed her more than she wants, justmaking sure she's getting into a routine and see if it helps the feeds?
