Agree - I can't really follow that chart either :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-schedule-how-long-are-naps#post-902085 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 17:09:52 +0000 Freckles 902085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@aprk: LOL. I think TWT is Total Wake Time? I don't know about OT and those others. I mainly concentrated on the wake time, number of hours for naps and night sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-schedule-how-long-are-naps#post-902011 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 16:38:36 +0000 blackbird 902011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're still doing naps every two hours but they tend to last 45 min usually. Sometimes longer, usually not </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-schedule-how-long-are-naps#post-901980 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 16:26:45 +0000 aprk 901980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Freckles: I feel sort of ridiculous; but I am having trouble understanding the chart. Too many acronyms!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-schedule-how-long-are-naps#post-901971 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 16:24:01 +0000 Freckles 901971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My recommendation is that you not worry too much about following EASY to a tee. It was impossible, especially at that age. I started at 8 weeks and even then, i followed it very loosely. Things got more predictable at the 3 month mark, and she was on a 3 hourish schedule. 2.5 hour nap at 6 weeks is amazing!</p> <p>This sleep/awake chart is very helpful: <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/11GHo4keUb2TVJUlSL1kD6HQcEgaNFBmzoQoOzcpcyas/edit?authkey=CPXE1bsO&#038;hl=en_US&#038;authkey=CPXE1bsO" rel="nofollow">https://docs.google.com/document/d/11GHo4keUb2TVJUlSL1kD6HQcEgaNFBmzoQoOzcpcyas/edit?authkey=CPXE1bsO&#038;hl=en_US&#038;authkey=CPXE1bsO</a></p> <p>Sleep was really rough the first two months, and things got better at 3 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-schedule-how-long-are-naps#post-901940 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 16:10:41 +0000 HappyJax 901940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just started following EASY. I researched online, haven't read the book yet. My little guy is 6 weeks old. He is going back down for a nap about 1-2 hours after he wakes but I'm curious how long were your LO's naps? He ranges anywhere from 45 minutes to 2.5 hours. Not sure what is considered ideal at that age.</p> <p>Also, when did your LO start sleeping longer stretches at night? He is usually sleeping 2-3 hours (a few times the first stretch was 4 hours) but once it's 4 am he's up every hour. He wakes, eats a little bit and falls right back asleep. I have tried everything but cannot get him to eat more after he dozes back off and then he wakes up hungry an hour later. Getting up every hour is really hard! </p>
