help - DS up at 5 am (for no reason)
ok so their last feeding has been around 3:30-4:30, DS has been wakingup at 5 almost every morning....... so then I am up basically from 4:30 on, because she wakes DD then I have to settle him, and then they are both up for the day at 6 ish which I have no isue it, its just the hour before of being up that is trurning me into a walking zombie. I pick her up, rock her and she is back to sleep. There seems to be no gas, no hunger, no comfort issue (I have tried feeding, burping, mylecon, changing their positions etc) any other advice on how to elimiate this "extra" wake up. The only thing I can think of is at the feeding before they don't finish their bottle since they are OUT COLD after like 2 ounces. I may have to start with the wet towel....... thoughts?
I have read a few of the sleep training books and they all agree that there can be no schedule, CIO, etc until after 8 or 12 week (depends on the book) If I even try to let her cry she wakes up DD in the other crib and then I have two crying babies at 5 a.m. ; )

Re: help - DS up at 5 am (for no reason)
All I can say is try to make sure they finish their bottles. Do they wake up at 3:30? Can they push the feeding to 4:30?? Do you change their diaper mid-feed?
Otherwise, unfortunately, you just have to hang in there - def. no CIO at their age. Oh, what I have to look forward to!
When my LOs were this young there was no rhyme or reason to their waking sleeping cycle. Can you put them in a swing after the last feeding and see if the rocking keeps them asleep longer? I know it is no help to hear this but it will just get easier as time passes.
