He was up for over an hour at 2am.
We ended up giving him a bottle at 3am (couldn't think of anything else to do).
DH rocked him back to sleep around 3:30am.
Then he slept in!

I have no idea ]]> Thu, 20 May 2010 20:16:19 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33503&PID=1035654&title=early-mornings#1035654 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33503&PID=1034378&title=early-mornings#1034378 Author: millymollymandy

I had this exact problem last week. I contacted the sleepstore they suggested:
-a warmer sleeping bag
-dream feed at 10pm ( was doing it at 9.30)
-moving the first day sleep forward a bit, i.e. later.
The warmer sleeping bag worked a treat! Turns out she was getting cold as this is the coldest time in the moving. haved moved the morning sleep forward by 10 minutes.

Personally I would avoid feeding him at 5 if at all possible, I have found that (1) mucks up feeding for rest of day and (2) creates inconsisties and you run the risk of him wanting it when he wakes at other times in the night (at least that my experince) and given that he likes eating and is doign well on that front why muck it up. He doesn't sette after a cuddle or if he's just awake and playing I'd just wait till 6 before getting him up.]]> Wed, 19 May 2010 17:54:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33503&PID=1033969&title=early-mornings#1033969 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33503&PID=1033858&title=early-mornings#1033858 Author: Kellz

We are much the same as Peanut here. We have been a
"Yay she slept in til 6am" House here for 3 1/2years!

Check out the sleepstores info tho, thy have really good articles that may help you work out what is causing the early waking adn suggest ways to improve it.
Any time starting with a 5 is the middle of the night ]]> Wed, 19 May 2010 16:53:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33503&PID=1033858&title=early-mornings#1033858 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33503&PID=1033776&title=early-mornings#1033776 Author: monikah

How many sleeps is he having during the day? We found that once he was down to 2 he started sleeping a bit longer.

But we always treat anything earlier than 6.30am as night time waking - so a feed/drink or a cuddle and back to bed.

Good luck, I hate those early starts!]]> Wed, 19 May 2010 14:23:36 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33503&PID=1033623&title=early-mornings#1033623 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33503&PID=1033345&title=early-mornings#1033345 Author: Peanut

Too True!

I have an early waker, he has always woken at 5-5.30am so am use to starting my day at that time now after 2.5 years. I tried everything to get him to sleep later. Now at 2.5 he sleeps until around 6am on a good day.

When he was littler I used to chuck him in bed with us and sometimes he would sleep or I would take him to the lounge, leave the lights dimmed and I would cat nap on the couch while he played until breakfast time at 6.45am. Now I just get up and do my jobs

i used to treat all wakings up till 5am like night wakings... a quick feed then back to bed... or you could try taking back to your bed.]]> Wed, 19 May 2010 11:20:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33503&PID=1033323&title=early-mornings#1033323 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33503&PID=1033005&title=early-mornings#1033005 Author: mummymonster

DS is convinced morning starts at 5am. I'd much prefer it if he'd move it to 6am.
He used to have a bed time of 6:30, I've moved it to 7, but it if anything it's made the mornings worse.
Any ideas?
When he wakes at 5, if he's happy we just leave him till 6. If he's unhappy we try to "settle" him, but don't get him out of the cot.]]> Wed, 19 May 2010 06:46:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33503&PID=1033005&title=early-mornings#1033005
