So for the past 3 days we have been trying to implement EASY but it doesn't seem to be working well.
It seems as if we don't feed until she is 'drunk' and put her immediately to sleep, she just won't sleep. She'll fuss and wake up and today, she stayed awake until the next feeding! I've tried the over the shoulder shh/pat with no help, I've tried laying her down on her back in my lap, and a few others but she just doesn't want to sleep. I've burped her, changed her diaper, given her a pacifier, nothing seems to work. I don't think it's colic. She's been staying awake in between feedings almost all day today.
When she cries - she sounds like someone is stabbing her and she almost cries herself to exhaustion. What am I doing wrong?
As far as feedings go, in general we've been feeding every 2.5 hours or so starting from 8am and have been getting in about 6 feedings each day. She's been waking up twice in the evenings (once around 2-3 and the other around 5am or so). Just an FYI, feeding her seems to be the only way to calm her down but I don't understand, most feedings work out fine. It's just since we started the EASY routine that we are having this much trouble.
