If you're on an EASY schedule...

Mrs.Salt&Pepper

My LO is on a 3 hour EASY schedule right now. I have read that by 4 months they should be on a 4 hour EASY. DD will be 4 months exactly when I go back to work and the nanny comes.  I want her schedule to be squared away so that its a little easier for the nanny. My question is, should I cold turkey and move to a 4 hour, or gradually increase by .25 or .50 hours for a week or so? What did you do? 

TIA!

Andrew transitioned himself to a 4-hour EASY over the process of a week (little overachiever).  BW recommends gradually increasing it by .25 a day in the book I have.

Amelia is also naturally just transitioning herself. Right now she's going about 3.5 hours between feedings, but she worked up to that over the course of about 2 weeks. I imagine as she gets older, she'll just gradually go longer. I agree with PP that you could try increasing by 15 minutes or so.

Is there a problem with her current schedule?  If not, why mess with it?

I didn't do EASY with my DDs but we did have to move them to a longer time between feedings.  We did it gradually.  10min increments.
