[kellmay]

Hey all, DS is now 9 months and is still waking at dawn. He has white noise, warmish room, and is first day sleep is at 9:45 yet he is waking at 4:50 - 5:10 most mornings and I AM SICK OF IT !!!!!!!!!!!!! My first DS was early too but he was about 6 am - OK, livable. But before 5 ????? He is in bed about 7pm.
What i am wondering is if anyone has and sucess with getting there bubs to sleep a little longer in the mornings and HOW PLEASE HOW

Thanks

Geez I wish - Miss M wakes up chatting around 4am-ish - and then goes back to sleep herself after a while... but then DS wakes up at 5am and comes into our room and bounces on the bed .....

Today he was bouncing near my head saying "mummy.. mummmy... mummmmmmeeee... nana?... narna? naaarrrrna?"

Guess what he had for breakfast -a banana

Sad but i love the banana thing, sometimes you just have to laugh. DS wakes at 5ish chats to himself for 20mins, calls out, i give him some toys in the cot and get in the shower. Generally gets out of bed around 6. My other 5 year old then wakes the world up at 6 too...................
I am sick of going to bed at 9pm just to get the hours in.

Can i ask a side question. How do you get the cool thingy at the bottom of your posts.

One thing I found with DD1, was that by changing her bedtimes she actually slept longer. If she went to bed at 7, she would wake up about 6 and because it was daylight she would want to get up. But if I put her to bed EARLIER, about 6 - 6.30 she would wake at 5 - 5.30 when it was still dark and go back to sleep!

Might be worth a try.

the only way DD sleep slonger is if it is dark
she wakes at light too

but i guess it could be worse and bub could be waking up all night.
