Hi Aussie,

Glad I found this as I was talking to my sister about this very issue today. We are having the exact same problem with DD. I put it down to a little growth spurt. But maybe it is just a developmental thing. This morning she was up at 4.30, so I brought her into our bed, she just laid there with her birdy (comforter teddy) until 6.30 which was a more respectable time to get out of bed. She also woke in the middle of the night a couple of weeks back, the first time she has woken in the night since she was 5 weeks old, and I gave her cuddles and sat next to her, my sister said that this lasted a couple of months with her DD. Arrgghhh! Every age has it's challenges doesn't it.
