Re: Sleep-eat-play-sleep routine...how does this work? And when?
It's from the Baby Whisperer, and her books go into great detail about it.
We put both our babies on EASY from the time they came home from the hospital and it was wonderful. It eliminates the guesswork of "baby is crying. Is she hungry? Tired? Bored?" It really helps the parent as much as the baby, and the baby whisperer says it's never too early to do EASY. It may take awhile, but it juts gets you into a good rythmn for your days. Makes them less stressful and more predictable! Advertisement

However, I actually learned this from the Ezzos nearly 14 years ago as part of their Prep for Parenting class. This eventually gave birth to Babywise. The Baby Whisperer and the No Cry Sleep Solution authors have republished many of the previous suggestions of the Ezzos in a more palatable way. ![]()

Re: Sleep-eat-play-sleep routine...how does this work? And when?
I've done this with all 3 of mine, for the most part, although I slip up sometimes and nurse to sleep if I miss the sleep cues and they get overtired and can't settle down on their own. I figure its better to avoid them getting even more overtired at that point and save working on going to sleep on their own for the next nap.
Another thing that helps with establishing a routine for newborns is to make sure that they are taking full feedings, rather than just snacking a little and drifting off to sleep. If they only get the watery foremilk, they are going to be feeding very frequently, because it is more of a thirst-quencher, without much calories or fat. The hindmilk (the last bit of milk that your breast produces) is the rich dessert that helps them last longer before they get hungry again. Of course, getting babies to stay awake for a full feeding can be pretty tough when they are only 1-2 months old, but it really helps. |

I'm resurrecting this thread because I've been reading it multiple times a day.
How do I switch my 4 month old to this from nursing to sleep?? It's not working out at all. Sent from my iPhone using DS Forum

Re: Sleep-eat-play-sleep routine...how does this work? And when?
The entire description of this style is from The Baby Whisperer. I've used that book to help with all my kids and my daycare kids. I don't let any of the kids nurse or take bottles to go to sleep, no rocking, no crying.....they are used to just laying down and sleeping on their own from a very early age (probably 3 to 4 months). I also use Happiest Baby on the Block too. The only time I have crying is when I have a new kid at my daycare or when the parents have really random schedules at home and so the little ones are on a routine here and then mom and dad just do whatever at home.
