Early Morning Wake Ups

Morning ladies, can anyone help us with some brutally early morning wake ups? Little man goes to bed well around 7.30pm in his own cot. Around 3/4am he stirs & we co-sleep until morning. He used to sleep through until 6.30/7am which works for us. This week his wake ups have been earlier & earlier! Wednesday morning I was up from 4am. Nothing got him back to sleep. I tried white noise, rocking, cuddling, stroking his face, bum pats etc. He used to have a bottle & go back to sleep. Now as soon as he’s had a bottle he knows it’s go time and he’s up for the day! Any suggestions? I’m back at work, he’s started nursery & I can’t be getting up at 4am every day 😭 Thank you x

No advice but we’ve just hit the same stage this week. He’s never really slept through, still wakes for a bottle in the night but now he’s started waking at 4.30/5 if I give him his bottle he now doesn’t go back to sleep!

Same here too and I’m so tired but I just go to bed earlier now

We were dealing with the same so we made her bedtime a bit later atm (around 8/8:30) with the clocks changing anyway we thought we’d start doing it to get her used to it and she has been waking around 6 every day which will obvs be 5 soon 🥲

Again no advice really, but the other night we were downstairs playing/ watching tv at 3:30 coz she was just wide awake! After a couple hours downstairs she finally fell asleep again so we went back to bed till 7. I also am back at work but sometimes just can’t be helped 🤷🏽‍♀️🙃

We are in the same boat. Used to sleep 7pm-6am yet now she's up and wide awake by 4:30 no matter what we do! 😩 we've tried more/less milk in the day, upped her food, more/less naps and nothing is resolving it. I started back at work this week and I'm absolutely shattered.

Thanks all! Glad I’m not the only one! Last night he was super tired so we put him down early at 6.30 & he slept for 12 and half hours! Up at 7am which so magical ✨ We truly felt like we’d had a Sunday morning lay in! I’ve tried the same tonight so I’ll update you in the morning to see if the trick has worked or last night was a fluke!! 🤞🏼🤞🏼 xx

@Nikki how’d it go?

@Bernadette It seems to have worked! I have no idea how 😂 The first night he slept through until 7. Then next night we had a 3am wake up for an hour, then back to sleep until 8. The last few days we’ve had to wake him up for nursery around 7.30. So thank goodness we’ve cracked it 🎉 How are you getting on? x
