Waking up at 5am

Yep I’m in the same boat still try to give the bottle in dark all that and sometimes he’s wide awake sometimes fall asleep! If he’s still drowsy but can’t fall asleep properly I take him next to me - but haven’t done this in a while he used to love it we sometimes slept till next feed like that !

Mine wakes at 5 has a little chat and goes back to sleep I just watch on the monitor usually back up about 06:30-7

does he have teeth coming through? My little girl has always been a good sleeper until a couple of weeks ago she was waking up between 3-4am, I would feed her give her some Calpol and pop her back down, she would then lay there chatting for ages before eventually going back to sleep. Once her two bottom teeth came through she went back to sleeping through.

Just to check are you following the wake windows for his age or his sleepy cues? For my LO it says 2-2.5 hours i think but for him it goes 2 hours when he first wakes up/2hr 15/2.30 and then 2hr 45 before bed. I also read somewhere that if they go back to sleep in the morning it can stop them from making those hours up at night. It is so hard those early starts because even though the baby goes to sleep early, we don’t/can’t sometimes🤣

Have actually never related to anything more 😭 sleeping at 7:30, usually up at 7, last couple of weeks been up at 5 on the 3 days that I work 😭

4.30 today for us 😭🤦‍♀️ and how he is going to cope until bedtime with 5 naps is beyond me. I feel you! And I know some people say oh I'd love them to sleep through the night but I'd rather get up and feed in the night and he slept later as I already get up several times to check on him etc.

We are actually on our second nap of the day and it's 9.45 🤦‍♀️

Similar here, my girl wakes up 5.30-6am. I have the Huckleberry app, and that says to treat this as night wake. We aim for 7am wake up time, but not sure if that will ever happen. I think we just have an early waker. I don’t want to scare you, but I have many friends with babies and toddlers and they all wake up very early in the morning. Even at age 6-7 years. The thing is, babies this age need about 14 hrs sleep in a 24 hrs period. My little one sleeps 3.5-4 hrs during the day, across 3 naps, and her bedtime is anytime between 7-8pm (depends on her nap times). At night she sleeps 9-10 hrs, waking once for food. So if she goes to bed let’s say at 7am, sleeps 10 hrs, and awake for the food for about 30-40mins, then it make sense why she wakes up early… she just had enough sleep.🤷🏻‍♀️ I’m not sure if moving her bedtime would help, but for us I think it’s impossible as she’s just VERY tired by 7-7.30pm. Oh and there are babies who just don’t require much sleep!🙈

I have to add, my girl used to sleep till 7am.
