Oh I just wrote what I thought on facebook but I can write more here.

The 2.5-3hr daytime routine sounds good, that's what we do anyway bc DD feeds every 3 hrs. So I think that part is a good idea but you'll probably fall into doing that anyway. The other bit's I'm not so sure.

If they seem to be hungry more often than every 2.5 hours, then they just need to suck. Use a pacifier.
I don't think this can be true all the time for all babies so I wouldn't just always stick to this rule. Sometimes they are more hungry.

Skip one night feed
When: around 4-6 weeks
I think this is really early to start skipping feeds! No way I could have done that with DD, she really did need to feed.

Longer Stretches of Night Sleep
When: around 6 weeks


To get longer stretches of sleep at night, use cluster and dream feeds. See BW p. 185. Our typical schedule: Cluster feed at 6pm and 8pm. Dream feed at 10:30 or 11:00pm.
I agree with this. A good way to get more sleep while also making sure they're still getting enough feeds!! I'd give it a try!

Routine 5:
4-hour schedule with dream feed
When: 3-4 months
DD is still feeding max every 3 hrs. I couldn't push it out further. She is hungry and she'd probably just make up for it at night. I don't even go 4hrs without eating or drinking so I don't expect her to.

Anyways, that's what I think. Oh and I'm reading the 'No cry sleep solution' atm, it's really good!! I would have a look at that. I wish I had read it when DD was smaller bc it tells you what to do to prevent bad sleeping habits right from the beginning instead of me now having to try and change her which is harder. It also has tips on getting into a daytime nap routine and a night time routine and how to get them to self-settle without CIO.

BTW, love the new name!!
