We also started nightly bath at this time<br /> Ds has been sttn w minor hiccups since 11.5 wks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-easy#post-1026748 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 19:46:55 +0000 .twist. 1026748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had to look up easy, but from what I can find, I have been doing this since day 1, or at least trying to. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-easy#post-1026718 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 19:26:10 +0000 NovBaby1112 1026718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not until 8 or so weeks? My lo did not nap much at all during the day though- it was more like awake, eat, sleep 5 minutes, awake, eat, awake, eat, awake, finally sleep at night lol. I didn't mind it though because she gave me great stretches in the beginning at night. At 3 weeks def let her sleep all she wants :) like others have said, light sounds and noise will help her differentiate day and night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-easy#post-1026713 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 19:15:29 +0000 emg86 1026713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: We noticed bath time would help her sleep better too and get her down a lot easier. We started a nightly routine around 4 weeks or so...we'd do bath time every other night and by 6 weeks it was every night--but we didn't use shampoo/soap every night. Now at 3.5 months if she's not in the tub by 7:15 she loses it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-easy#post-1026704 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 19:05:24 +0000 Foodnerd81 1026704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: C is almost three weeks old and she just, like yesterday and today, has started having more alert awake time. Before this it was pretty much eat sleep all the time. She cluster feeds at night- like eat for half an hour, fuss for a short time, eat again, until she suddenly conks out. I don't think it has much to do with her activity level, although the nights where she cries hard a lot- like bath time which she hates- she seems to sleep longer. But I'm not about to let her cry extra to tire her out! </p> <p>So, I have no idea but right now I just follow her cues. We do keep her in the room at a normal volume for naps and in the dark bedroom with a sound machine at night, and she def sleeps longer at night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-easy#post-1026693 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 18:36:13 +0000 lawbee11 1026693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: Haha! Eat, Activity, Sleep, You</p> <p>@hilsy85: Yeah, that's pretty much what it is--she eats, sleeps, repeat. I don't think she has them mixed up completely (she does sleep 2.5-3 hr stretches at night and is EBF), it just takes awhile to get her down for the night sometimes. I find that she sleeps best on nights that we bathe her because the bath wakes her up for awhile then she's sleepy at bedtime, but I don't want to bathe her every night because that seems excessive at this age. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-easy#post-1026677 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 18:17:19 +0000 hilsy85 1026677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not until maybe 6-8 weeks? At 2.5 weeks I feel like it's really just eat sleep repeat...I wouldn't try to keep her up after eating at that age.</p> <p>ETA unless you think she has her days and nights confused. In which case I would try to make the environment during the day louder, more stimulating, etc, but I still wouldn't purposely try to keep her awake if she's really tired. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-easy#post-1026674 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 18:15:06 +0000 Espion 1026674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>E eats every 2.5 to 3 hours and we're trying for a couple naps a day after he's been active. Or at least some "down time". Because there is no way we can put him down to nap every couple of hours. We're trying to establish a bedtime after his last meal for the day at 7:30 to 8. We tried dream feeding and he just totally wakes up. So we're letting him tell us when he's hungry at night. (He's 10 weeks.)</p> <p>@autumnlove: It's eat, active, sleep, you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-easy#post-1026664 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 18:07:45 +0000 matador84 1026664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started at 6 weeks with a sxhedule </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-easy#post-1026661 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 18:01:50 +0000 swedishfish 1026661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started a loose schedule of eating every three hours during the day as soon as we got home from the hospital. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-easy#post-1026649 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 17:49:16 +0000 emg86 1026649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sort of started doing EASY at 2-3 weeks. She was a nocturnal baby and wanted to be up ALL night. Waking her up more often during the day, doing a little tummy time and feeding her every 2-2.5 hours switched her around. By 2 months we had a routine and by 2.5 months or so, she started to sttn. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-easy#post-1026646 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 17:44:49 +0000 autumnlove 1026646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm don't know what Easy is..haha!</p> <p>We started routines at 8 &amp; 6 weeks with my LOs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-easy#post-1026637 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 17:40:10 +0000 lawbee11 1026637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is two weeks old--is that too early to start using EASY? I know it's too early to have a strict schedule, but I mean more using it to try and implement a loose routine. She sleeps a lot during the day. I know she's a newborn and is supposed to sleep a lot, but it takes awhile to get her down at night after she has slept all day, and sometimes she's wide awake between night feedings. </p> <p>When did you start using EASY? Did you have any sort of routine this early? </p>
