I was getting so much sleep but now ...

Lincoln has started waking at 5am every morning. Luckily I can feed him and he will go back down for another 2 -3 hours. Previous to this he was sleeping from 6pm to 6am without waking. Whats changed? Last night I tried puting him to bed at 7pm to see if he would sleep til 6am, but just like an alarm clock he woke at 5am again! I haven't changed his bedtime routine other than last night. I know I can't complain, but after a good month of getting plenty of sleep I am struggling with having to get up again. I can't feel any teeth, he is fully breast feed. We have a heater going in his room at night so he feels warm when I go to him at 5am. During the day he sleeps well and is happy when he's up. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried dreamfeeding Lincoln and he decided that it was nice so woke every 3 hours after that for a feed!!! Granted that was when he was about 2 months old though.

I agree, although it's very hard sometimes. I find it soo much worse when you know they can do something, like sleeping through the night, then go backwards than if they'd never done it in the first place as you're just used to it then

thats a good stretch of sleep.... i agree it may just go back to normal on its own.

take him back to bed with you and feed him there and spend the rest of the morning cuddled together...

Glad you managed to get to the bottom of it!
