[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you should at least give a solid try to the eat-awake-sleep method. We used Taking Cara Babies. It’s maybe harder in the beginning but much easier later on and you only nurse to sleep at night so it’s not as much of a thing. [/quote]

Thank you good suggestion. I’ve always wondered what do you do if they just fall asleep when nursing regardless of wake window? How many weeks do you try this to see if it will work?[/quote]

It worked well for us, but I know so much is baby personality and other factors so I’m not at all saying it’s easy peasy. But because you feed right when they wake up, they might doze but it’s easier imo to wake them up and have them keep feeding. At night, I mean, it’s whatever works in the beginning.

This is in Taking Cara Babies but you’re basically relying on the 5Ses (Karp, basically) to help them sleep since you’re not feeding and can’t put them on their bellies. Focus on the morning nap. By 4pm, all bets are off. I also used baby wearing and the car to get naps, especially in the afternoons. I wasn’t at all religious about it. But I always did eat-awake-sleep. It wasn’t a schedule, but it was a routine that worked for me. It was easier for me to see wake windows and sleepy signals than hunger cues. [/quote]
