DS Waking up earlier than usual- help!

Vans18 · May 2013

Hello all-

So LO's bedtime is at 8pm and normally wakes up at around 6:30am (yes still early) but for the past 4 days hes been waking up at 5:30 and this morning woke up at 4:30! I dont know whats wrong with him. He wakes up crying. Did any of you go through this or is going through this? I'm looking for any advice, if theres anything you did to keep LO sleeping later please share. Thanks.

Is he on the cusp of a new skill, like walking or new words? Whenever my son learns something new, his sleep is weird for a few days and then goes back to normal. How about some new teeth? That's always the other goto bad sleep reason in our house.

I am in the same boat. My dd has woken up at 4:30 every morning for a week now. All I can say is ahhh! I have a list of reasons in my head but I don't know if any of them are the reason.
1. She is just getting of strep throat
2. She just had another tooth come through
3. We are a on a little of a different schedule. With her dad out planting I let her stay up a little later to be able to see him.
4. She is so close to just taking off on walking on her own.
5. Last but not least blame daylight savings time. It's light out until late, and light out lots earlier.
It sucks waking up this early, but I hope it's a phase. I am not happy about waking up that early but I try to think of my list, and think oh it's not her fault.

Oh that's right! He is finally taking steps and is gaining confidence to walk on his own. Could be that I guess, along with teething. I hope it goes away soon

Thanks both of you for your replies.

DS went through this a few weeks ago. I blamed teething, the fact that it was light out earlier, getting ready for a milestone, pretty much anything I could think of. Then, out of nowhere, he just went back to sleeping normally. It was the WEIRDEST thing and I never did figure out what caused it, but it was relatively short lived (like 5 or 6 days) and just stopped with no real rhyme or reason. Hope your DS does the same!
