5am?! (Also on 3-6 board)

Why oh why is my DD suddenly getting up at 5 or 5:30 in the morning? And how do I make it stop?!
She'll be 5 months on November 1st and up until now has been consistently going down at 7 and waking up between 7 and. 7:30 with only a couple wake ups during the night...
what can I do to go back to the way it was?

Re: 5am?! (Also on 3-6 board)
It's probably just a phase, honestly. We have been going through periods of the same thing around here since they were about 4 months old. She'll get up at 5ish for a few days and he'll sleep until 8 or 9. Then as soon as she starts sleeping later he starts waking up early for a few days. I wish they'd at least sync it up!
Anyway, has it been happening for a while now, or just a few days? I've noticed that with mine it seems to be cyclic.
DD is doing the same. She used to sleep 9-9 but now wakes up anywhere between 3-5. She's been eating more frequently during the day so I think it's a growth spurt and she just needs more food than normal to get through the night. It happened before a couple weeks ago and it went away so maybe it will happen again.
Maybe it's the same with your LO.
Our babies share a birthday!
A has also been getting up at 5:30 the last few days. We get up at 6 for work though so DH and I just switched off on who got to lay in bed a little longer.
Honestly I don't think there is anything you can do to make it go back. It is probably just a phase. A was getting up from 2-4 every morning and wanting to play. I'm just glad she is not doing that anymore. I just tell myself this too shall pass.
