Sudden earlier waking
Has anyone experienced their baby suddenly waking earlier than usual? My little girl (6 months on Monday) has woken between 7-8am (7-7.30pm bedtime consistently) for a good couple of months now. The last week she’s started waking at 6am. Nothing else has changed with her routine. I know 6am is considered a ‘normal’ wake time for a baby but it just seems odd for her to suddenly be walking an hour earlier! It’s thrown off our whole daytime routine which I thought I’d finally nailed 😫

@Erin ooh this is interesting! We haven’t started solids yet no, but will do next week. Hopefully that will sort things out once she’s eating more solids, although I know it can take a while for them to actually ‘eat’!
@Lucy good luck! Hope it helps. They are all so different, just wait and see🙂 we are doing a mix of puréed and soft finger foods and the purées went down no bother within day 1! Finger foods take a wee bit longer :) x
Mine did the exact same thing a couple of weeks before solids. Been on solids for about 3 weeks now and is eating well. Slightly better in sleeps but still waking up earlier than he was
The last wake window may need extending so baby can build up enough sleep pressure to get them through the night!

Have you started solids yet? Mine went through this until we started solids! Was sleeping right through and suddenly just before 6 months started waking at 4.30 and then 6 ready for the day. It’s stopped now so I think she just wasn’t getting full on milk alone! They do go through a growth spurt at this age too. X
