Morning Sleep Training...

I think we need to do this STAT. For about 2 months now my son has slowly inched his morning wake up time from 5:30ish to now 4 am!  He wakes up at 4 and I usually give him a bottle, and he always drinks it within 5 minutes.  So im sure he's waking up because he's hungry. 

Heres his routine usually:

7-bottle and bed

4 am-wake, bottle, play

6 am-bottle, nap for 2 or 3 hours!

9-10- Start his day finally. 

 

I know we need to push his bedtime back at night to help, but come 7 he's passed out on the floor because he wakes up at friggin 4 am. Andplusalso by 7 im ready for him to be asleep well because he's been up since friggin 4 am! I think were going to have to start letting him have a late nap and go to bed at least a hour later to save our mornings. By the time he goes back down for his "morning nap" everyone is waking up and getting ready to start the day so no back to bed for me .

Anyone elses baby wake up at the a$$ crack of dawn? I need a morning sleep training combat buddy!!!!!

This might sound ridiculous, but I've read that if your LO is waking up too early (as in your case), to try putting them to bed a half hour earlier. It may be worth a shot!

How many ounces is he drinking w that 4am bottle? Can you make them up by adding an ounce or two to a daytime bottle? Or try a bottle w water until his calorie needs shift back to decent hours lol

Maybe a dream feed before you go to bed? 

I thought about that but I don't think he'll go back to
