Early wakeups?

in Babies: 6 - 9 Months
Grace typically wakes up 5:45-6:00, which is early, but fine.  I am up at 4:15 to workout and just finish showering before she's awake.  The past couple days she has woken up between 4:30 and 5:20.  She did cut 2 teeth this week and has been a bit crankier, but not a large amount.  I put a dose of Tylenol in her overnight bottle to last the night.  Bedtime bottle is 8:15 and she's out by 8:30.  In the transition from 3 to 2 naps.  One nap is usu 45 min and the other 2 hrs.  If she takes a 3rd, it's only 15 min in the car on the way back from dinner or something, the only nap she's allowed in the car, and never past 6:15p.  Today was a 2 nap day.  Any suggestions about the wake ups about?  Thanks!

    My DS is almost 8 months and still has a variable wake up time almost every week.

    I think it's just a phase, probably from teething, making her a bit more sensitive to other disturbances, eg, sounds from your showering? Tylenol isn't supposed to work for more than 4-6 hrs anyway, so its effect would have worn off by the morning.  My guess is she'll hopefully go back to her usual wake up time in a day or two. Good luck!

    Earlier bedtimes can actually promote a better night's sleep. Try moving bedtime up a little bit and see if she gets more rest that way.

    Also, are you mixing the Tylenol into her bottle? My pedi told me not to do that because if they don't finish the whole bottle, they don't ingest all the medicine. Use the oral syringe and squirt it directly in her mouth for the best results. Also, some people have better luck with Motrin and say it lasts longer.

    This probably isn't comforting- but my son is just a natural early riser. I have tried several different bedtimes and putting him back to sleep in the morning, but no matter what he is up for the day around 5:30. It doesn't hurt to try for a later wake-up time, but there is only so much you can do if that's when they want to be up.

    Nothing I did changed my LO's wake up time until he was ready. I went for about a month of a 4:30 wake up time. Then it was about a month of 5:15- 5:30. We're back to the 6:15 range which is SOOOO much better. Hopefully it's just a stage for you LO.
    Sept 2013 started TTC#2 (never got PP period so hoping for the first egg to drop)
    Jan 2014 - diagnosed POF (Premature Ovarian Failure) and told pregnancy not possible without egg donor because my ovaries would never function again with my hormone levels (FSH 136, LH 98.6, AMH <.03, estradiol 0, HCG 7) - using acupuncture, chiropractic care and TCM herbs / supplements
    March 11, 2014 ovulated despite every doctors prognosis!!!
    Oct 2014 hormones (FSH 48, Estradiol 89, HCG 1) not good, but heckuva lot better!

    Nov. 16, 2015 FET of single adopted 5AA embryo - BFN

    Some days DS wakes up earlier than others. At first I would just get him up but then I started leaving the lights off and nursing him (for you it would be a bottle) then I put him back down and he will sleep 1 - 2 more hours. He doesn't do it every morning he wakes up early but more often than not he will. I notice the days he wakes up early instead of being awake for at least 2 hours. He is ready for a nap about an hour after waking.

    When DD wakes up at 4, I just leave her in bed.  She always falls back asleep on her own.
