Waking up at 4am? 😩

My youngest is nearly 9 months old as well in a few days and we’ve been getting up at 4am as well for weeks 😩 I can’t find any reason why other than my daughter can’t stay awake past 6 she has already had lots of sleep when 4am comes around 😂

It’s so strange honestly, my LO has barely 2 naps throughout the day and bath him the same time. I know he’s tired so I don’t know why he isn’t sleeping past 4am. He’s only just fallen back to sleep but these early wake ups are a struggle 😩

Some kids are just early risers I think haha my eldest used to get us at 6 everyday and I thought that was bad😂
Mmm you would think your little would be really sleepy with not having good naps 😬 I wish I had some tips for you but so far nothing has worked for us.

My daughter still wakes for a night feed as well haha at 9 months old 😂 I was told to start giving some porridge before bed and when they start getting tired to then put them in the bath 🤷🏻‍♀️ this is to try and extend the bed time but I haven’t tried it yet so not sure if it works.

They get us up at 4 and then they go back to sleep a little while later😂 cheeky aren’t they haha

Hopefully someone has gone through the same thing and has some advice that works 🤞🤞☺️

What time is bed time?
I was told they only need 14 hours of total sleep at this age.
My LG has 2 - 3 hours day sleep over 2 naps and then only sleeps 10 - 11 hours at night (she still wakes 1 - 2 tikes for a feed)
If her bed time is 7, we're very lucky if she reaches 6 am when she's up for the day.
Maybe try your little one with a later bedtime xx

If they’re overtired at bed time from too little sleep it could be a reason for waking up at 4am which is then reinforced by a morning nap that’s too early- it can turn into a viscous cycle - I’ve seen some suggestions to really try and push out the morning nap as late as you can so they don’t start to see it as a “catch up” for an early wake!

We are going through the 9 month sleep regression right now I think. Earlier wakeups and had a few days of poor naps.
I would suggest if they wont nap during the day try taking them for a super bumpy car journey to knock them out 😆 poor day time sleep means poor night time sleep.

Mine wakes thirsty and wanting food in the early hours but then goes straight back to sleep.

So we went through this, some babies might need more than 2 naps. My one has 3 naps still 2 naps being an hour to hour and half and his last nap half an hour. And goes bed at 7 and wakes up at half 6. When we tried 2 naps he would wake up at 4 x

Yh my LO is doing the same she’s been doing it since she was 8months I think it may be the weather in our area our house gets very cold also she’s had an ear infection so I think that may have something to do with it maybe take LO to doctors to rule out being ill xx

Mine has been consistently waking up each night for a feed and goes back to sleep although sometimes she contemplates to stay up and play 😁 The most she goes is 7 hours after the night feed so she’s up anytime between 2 or 3 am for another feed and sleeps until 7.30am after that.

There is definitely some kind of regression my baby was awake the whole of Monday night😫 and has been sleeping awfully for a week 😫 it’s so tiring and has definitely been the worst leap / regression yet for us

yes same! I think mine is teething but she takes a 1-2 hour nap then fights all day til 4 and desperately needs a nap for 30 min then no matter what time I’ve tried getting her to bed she’s up at 4/430am. I’ve done 530/630/730pm
