  Isn't 5:30 really early for him to go to sleep, especially since he is 3 months? Is he taking a lot of naps during the day or has he been awake for awhile before bed? The pediatrician told us to try to keep him awake at least 2-3 hours before we put him down for the night. The earliest we can get him to go down is 8:30-9 but he has started sleeping some good long stretches for us. He still gets up a few times throughout the night but he is genuinely hungry (He's a big baby, almost 16 lbs). I'd try keeping him up for a few hours before bed and then try putting him down between the 7-9 time frame to see if that works.
  

  It sounds like she does that because he has to get up at 4am for her to go to work.  I think.
