Is anyone else using (or trying to use) EASY? Just wondered if anyone who's familiar or getting the hang of this wanted to share tips or advice, or just offer support?
I used this with my first two (with my daughter from 3 months, when she went from being grumpy and unsettled to being really easy to care for...thank you Tracy Hogg! Used it with my son from birth, too) and they both responded really well - perfect naptimes, feeding well, content babies and a happy mommy!
I'm trying with Jasper, but it's more of a challenge. I suspect he may have silent reflux (asking for specific advice on this in another thread) - he wont sleep for more than ten minutes lying down, even when being cuddled, very hiccupy, clearly uncomfortable after feeds etc. Going to talk to HV tomorrow, but in the meantime - eep!
I'm trying to work with a three hour EASY...altered slightly as the Y doesn't really exist yet with Jazzy P needig near constant cuddles. However, Mr Jazz would prefer an EAES kind of routine - eat, awake for a while, nom another oz, fall asleep on mommy
If he was my only baby it'd be fine...but I have two more children! Charlie is at home with me and, at just over 2yrs, needs a lot of attention too. I can't hold Jasper all the time...I'm looking at baby carriers/wraps/slings but I cant wear him constantly - Charlie needs cuddles too and I need Jazzy to nap independantly!
Does anyone have any advice for helping a baby to fall asleep without taking extra milk - every time he does this he's more uncomfortable and sometimes very sick; he needs to drop off without the extra oz (he's taking 3-4oz at each feed already)...or for helping him to settle in his crib?
Or...is anyone else working to EASY and would like to share support and successes?
