EASY - or not :)

We'd been following the EASY eat-activity-sleep routine for the past month and it's been going really well. It was great that I could tell when he was getting sleepy after playtime and he went down for a nap pretty easily.

The last two weeks he's been reeeeallly unhappy when I've tried to put him down for a nap. Screaming and fussing and all sorts of drama. I was thinking a few things, maybe his reflux meds need to be increased, I'll talk to the doctor about that. He eventually would fall asleep after 20-30 min of exhausting sadness.

Then yesterday I decided to feed him again before sleeping and his nap was amazing, over 2 hours. So maybe he's been hungry this whole fussy last two weeks and I've not been feeding him enough? I hope not to do this every time, because I liked that he was napping without needing to eat first.

Anyone else modify EASY with success? Maybe he's just going through a thing and I need to roll with it. Thanks for any advice you have!
