My daughter will be 5 months old on the 15th and was previously sleeping through til 7.30/8am. However for the last couple of weeks she has been waking up progressively earlier, usually between 5.30 and 6.30am (but this morning it was 5am š« ). Sheās wide awake and thereās no chance of her going back to sleep.
Not sure if itās sleep regresssion/the heat/teething or a combo of all of them - hoping sheāll start sleeping later naturally again soon but any tips for extending her sleep in the meantime?!

I've been having this recently, ever since the heat started and it's killing me š“ it's getting earlier by the day! I'm hoping once the heat passes she'll go back x

Whens bedtime? I've noticed my daughter sleeps 12 hours bedtime until up for the day (with 1 wake for a bottle). Bedtime varies 7-8 for us but if she slept at 8, woke up 6, even if she seems awake just has another bottle and back down. Otherwise by 7 she wants a nap lol if she's ever still awake after the bottle I leave her in bed and eventually she sleeps again lol

She usually has a bottle at 7 and is asleep between 7.30 and 8. I was doing a feed at 10pm when I went to bed but dropped this a month or so ago - so I did wonder if it was just because of this but the first couple of weeks without that feed she was sleeping for 12 hours!

š¤š¼š¤š¼š¤š¼yes this heat is a killer!

Following I'm in exactly the same situation my little one is up at 5am everyday not really sure what to do. Even an extra hour would to me fine x

Iām in the exact same position except itās 4am for me! š©š©

Ahh we aren't getting any sleep here. My little boy was sleeping for 8-9 hours straight waking around 4/5 but now he is only sleeping between 30mins to 2 hours. I am exhausted š« praying it's because of the heatwave and that next week we will be sleeping again!

Every time there's a rise in temperature my little boy wakes up either early or during the night and he goes back to normal once it cools š¤
