How do I put a stop to this? For about a month now he's been waking up between 5 and 5:30 am. We are morning people and all, but this is just ridiculous. He wakes up screaming and wants out of his crib immediately. We've let him cry for up to 30 minutes, but he hasn't once gone back to sleep.
Currently, he's STTN and he goes to bed around 7-7:15. Is there any hope for us? Please tell me this is just a phase!!
Re: He's waking up at 5am. Every. Day. Help.
Can you feed him ( in the dark) and put him right back to bed?

Yes, he is still tired but just refuses to go back to sleep. He'll have his head resting on the crib rail while he screams for us. Once we go in, he puts his arms up and settles down once we pick him up.
This morning, he was up at 4:30. FML. We went in, fed him and put him back in the crib sleepy. No dice. Screaming ensued. We let him go for 45 minutes and he wouldn't settle down.
Finally I brought him into our bed and he fell asleep within a few minutes. He stayed that way for 2 more glorious hours. I feel like maybe we just have an early riser on our hands...but 4:30 is just unacceptable!
Emily wakes up at 515 on the dot every single morning. I have tried feeding her and letting her cry didnt work she cried for an hour, I tried putting her to bed later didnt work either, I tried putting her in bed with me that didnt work either (she has never slept in my bed) nothing seems to work...so I just accepted that I will be up at 5am everyday. Somedays its 430 and I want to wake up crying right along with her. Not to mention she doesnt STTN yet.
I feel your pain.
Have you tried putting him to bed earlier? Counterinterutive, I know... but everything I've read said that if you put them to bed ealier, they sleep later. It worked with DD.
