Genuine question, no snark intended.
I see lots of posts (mostly on 3-6 but was surprised to see some here too) about people putting baby to bed later so they'll sleep later. Several of my parenting books say that a normal wake time for babies is 6-7 am and as early as 5 am can be normal.
Don't get me wrong, I love my sleep! But DS sleeps 6-6 (sometimes 6-7) and if he is up past 6:30 max, he is a nightmare.
Re: What is wrong with babies waking up early?
I have yet to establish a routine so DS falls asleep when I do (around 11pm) and wakes up when I do (around 10am). I'm a SAHM and prego so it works out for the both of us.
Because I'm a psychopath before 7am.
I would much rather DD do an 8pm-8am, but she's pretty set on her 7-7 schedule. She had a horrible few weeks of getting up at 5:30. Thank God DH is off for the summer and a morning person.
I'm cool with the middle of the night stuff, but I am a bear in the mornings.
I LOVE when DD wakes up early. I leave for work at 7:15, so when she's up at 6 we have a good hour & 15 mins together.
She's generally down at 8 or 8:30 and up at 6 or 6:30. Oh, and up at 3 and 5'; I'm still waiting to STTN!
Both my LO's wake between 6:3-7:00, the baby goes down between 7:00-7:30, and my older around 8:30-9. I have no issues with waking early..it sort of comes with the territory.

I don't like to get up early. Neither does my baby. Maybe we've trained her that way?
Allie has always slept 9-8, which is awesome, because any earlier than that and I'm not functional. I'm a night owl, always have been, I hate mornings. In fact, I work 9-6 and thank god every day that my boss really doesn't care when I come in as long as I work enough.
Huh, interesting. I guess I just never understand how people can get up at 6am every day and still feel like human beings. I mean, I get up at about 7 and I know that I would not be happy to get up earlier on a consistent basis. Since everyone else is clearly exactly like me, it just blows my mind that anyone could ever do anything differently. Really, I just don't understand. It is completely beyond my capabilities of understanding. Not snarky at all. Genuine, undadulterated inability of understandment.

Long time no see Rach...the boys are adorable!!
I have to admit I like my sleep but I go to bed really late. I don't think there is anything wrong with DD getting up early at all, the problem lies with me lol. DD is a normal healthy baby that is a great sleeper and STTN so I don't complain.
