I spent the first two days observing Lily, just to get a sense of her natural rhythms and her cues. I found out that the bedtime routine we have is helping her go to sleep at night, but because we have no routine during the day it is affecting her day sleep and eating. She wants to eat when shes bored, tired, etc ( just like her mom!:)). She gets over stimulated VERY easily. Even having to many toys or noises going on around her is over stimulating and she gets cranky, but limiting toys and how much is going on around her helps her play by herself longer. She freaks out in a loud, busy, crowded environment if she doesn't feel secure. She wants me for comfort not Sean. She's better in the morning than the evening. She only eats for 7- 10 minutes on each side. She will not go to sleep during the day without eating herself to sleep.
It's amazing what you can find out in 2 days! Will post how the first day of the routine goes tomorrow.
