    Oh no! I'm glad she's asleep now.
    Was just wondering, are you feeding her at 5:30am? If so, have you tried putting her back to bed after this and seeing if she'll just go back to sleep? This is something I tried when DS was little and was rising really early. I thought he was wide awake for the day but someone suggested I try resettling after the BF and lo and behold he started going back to sleep!

    I might try that actually. The thing is, that is when DH goes to work so when she sees daddy up and about - well that's it, she wants to play and get some daddy cuddles before he heads off.
    And DH usually gets home too late to see her, so we kind of don't mind that she wakes then. And she usually goes back to sleep after around 45mins to an hour.

    Might see if it works tomorrow though, being a sunday and all.

    Thanks
