How to stop early waking?

k.martell

DD has started waking up around 5a and that's just too early for me.  I'm either just getting back to sleep after a feeding or finishing a feeding and not ready to be up for the day.

We've put her down earlier to reset her clock so to speak and that worked for 1 morning, tried a later bedtime and that didn't work.

What worked for you?  I'm hoping for 6a at the earliest.

We didn't have this issue but a friend of mine did. They got one of these clocks. And they worked with her on when it was okay to get out of bed. She was supposed to wait in her room until it was wake up time. This might not work for you if your DD is not in diapers and needs help going to the bathroom. https://www.amazon.com/KidSleep-KSCLB-Classic-Blue/dp/B000VVIHPS/ref=pd_sim_hg_61

We started using the Ready to Wake clock and it has worked really well.  My son caught on the first day and now he doesn't get up until 6:30, when his light turns green.  If he wakes up early, he just lays in his bed until it turns green.  We've actually told him he can get up and play quietly with toys or read books, but he doesn't do it.  It was also great for extending his naps to 2 hours (they used to be less than an hour and he was always grumpy the rest of the day).

I would really like to know also!! I think my issue was taking the paci away, thats when everything changed. And I'm pretty sure the clock thing wont work for us either! I'm honestly just hoping this 5am thing will pass...but its been 4 months!
