Consistent 5:30am wake up

My baby is 4 months old and she’s starting to consistently wake up at 5:30am everyday. She’s a great sleeper and we usually sleep till 6:15/6:30am. We try to see if she will settle herself but eventually she starts screaming and crying. We change her diaper and calm her and then she falls back to sleep in my arms. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, how did you get through it?

My baby is the same way. 5:45 rolls around, and we want to be up! We usually just get up with him, and then he goes back to sleep after maybe 30 minutes for maybe an hour... we tried going to bed later... that just made him cranky... haha. We have about decided we have an early bird!

This is us! Unfortunately during the work week bedtime is 7-8pm & wake up is 5-6am. When the weekend comes even when we try to push bedtime back by an hour or 2, so we can sleep in a little more in the morning, our little guy still wakes up at 5 or so regardless 😬
Our days are just extra productive being up so early now 🤣

I have read this can be due to needing an early bedtime, or getting too much or not enough naps , few others things too, I’m struggling as well but found this article, I think my little guy is doing it because of gas though, sometimes if I give him gripe water gel in a binky he will sleep another 20-40min

I wish my baby slept through the night and woke up at 5 something!! We're up every 3 hours almost on the dot over here..... gets his bottle, diaper change and goes back to sleep another 3 hours....

Problem is, I don't go back to sleep easily. Help!

my baby just stared sleeping through the night mostly on his own but one thing you can try is don’t automatically take them out of the crib , try soothing them back to sleep when they wake up first in the crib with a pacifier or rocking them with your hand and if it doesn’t work after a bit then pick them and try to soothe , goal being to get them used to go another 10-30 min without feeding then maybe an hr and eventually they will get it ,and make sure they are fed very well during the day

Same, he wakes around 5. I work at 6am so it's perfect. I can usually get him back down by 5:30 after he nurses then wakes at 7 for daddy to watch him. On the mornings I don't work we go on a jog and he falls asleep in the stroller and usually will sleep until 7.

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

My little one is struggling with sleep

Hey! I'm in need of some advice please girls! My little boy is 20 months turns 21 months in 2 half weeks. He use to sleep through the night now he is waking up every single night in the early morning, I've had to transition him to a toodler bed as he kept climbing out his cot. Just need some advice on what I can do to help him get back in to a sleep pattern?

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

6 month old autistism

My 6 month old makes no eye contact with me and doesn’t respond when I call him. Can this just be a phase or personality trait as apposed to autism

5.30am wakeups 😫😴

My 15 week old has started waking up about 5.30am and is really hard to settle back down - it’s like he thinks it’s time to wake up for the day. He used to go to bed at 9pm and was up at 8am but now he goes to bed between 7.30-8pm as he’s knackered by then but waking up at 5.30am😴. Any advice to get him to sleep a little longer in the morning?! Even an extra hour would be lovely 🤣
