waking too early

Cabeatty

DS wakes every morning around 6 on the dot. He wants to nurse back to sleep / stay in my arms.. if I try to put him back in his crib he immediately wakes up and won't go back to sleep unless I hold him.. then he will just be awake but super sleepy all morning until his first nap around 9 or 10. I know it's just his biological clock waking him up at the same time, and am not sure how I can help this? He also wakes every morning at 3:45 on the dot but it's easy to nurse him back to sleep at that point.

After doing much research, I think some babies are just early risers.  Her wake up time may just be 6 oclock, however 3 hours before her morning nap sounds like an extremely long time, maybe that's why she gets so fussy.  My LO is almost 4 months and she goes down an hour and half after getting up, which usually falls between 730 and 8.  She's not a good napper at all so it's usually only a 30 min nap but it relieves her crankiness .  After that point her awake times are closer to 2 hours.

6 is not early at all in the baby world.

Connor is up like clockwork at 6. He talks to his mobile and eats his toes for about 15 minutes then starts yelling for breakfast.

Yup. Mine's up by 6 most days. He will stay up for 1-2 hours, then have some sort of nap...20 minutes to 2 hours.

Emma is up at 6:30 am every morning. Some mornings I can get her to go back to sleep until like 7:30/8am but most of the time not. Then her first nap is around 9/9:30 am.

I've recently joined the 5 am club. He's down for his first nap by 6:30.

DD wakes up between 630-7 which I know isn't too early but since she doesn't sleep well I spend so much time awake nursing her in the MOTN and I can't function that early! I know it's awful because I should let her get up to start the day and begin a routine but usually I'll bring her in bed and nurse her while laying down and we'll usually both fall back to sleep until around 930.

I do the samealways bring DD into bed with me when she wakes between 5 or 6 to eat and go back to bed til 9 or so.
