Still waking at 4-5 in the morning. Anyone else?

julieb00lie · June 2012

DS wakes between 4-5 almost every morning. I give him his morning bottle b/c that's the only way he will go back to bed. In general he sleeps about a 9 hour stretch. DH is convinced that he's waking out of habit b/c when he wakes up he's not mad or fussy.

The problem is that we get the kids up at 6am for DC. When he wakes that early, sometimes I can't get him back to bed, so he gets super tired.

I've tried to let him sit in there for a bit to see if he will go back to bed by himself, but he won't.

Anyone else in the same boat?

I have the same problem, my LO sleeps by 10pm and then she is up at 4-5, usually after a bottle she sleeps but rcently she just wont go back to sleep. She also isnt fussy or crying, just wants to play. Makes me super tired.

Yes! Mine goes down at 6:30 but then is up between 4:30 and 5:30 and I usually cannot get him back down. Makes for a long day!!

Mine takes her last bottle at around 7:30/8pm and sleeps until 6:30am. Maybe he needs more at his last meal of the day? Mine has solids at 6pm and 8oz bottle (I EBF) at 7:30/8pm

Have you tries just rocking him back to sleep. DS used to wake at 4 to nurse and one night we just rocked him back to sleep (not easily mind you) but the next night he slept through. Or he may just really need it at thi age. Good luck!
