Early waking!

[ShanJakson]

Hi my 7 month old boy Jakson has been on Tizzy Hall's Save our Sleep routine since he was 2 months old. Has always worked really well. He was sleeping from 7pm-7am for months. Now he is waking at 5.30-6am. He will go back to sleep until 7am if we take him for a walk or resettle him. If we just leave him he will just talk to himself until 7am when I feed him. He is not crying for a feed when he wakes just talks to himself. I have tried feeding him when he wakes so he will maybe go back to sleep for another 40 mins but he is wide awake.
Please any suggestions?
Our routine looks like this;
7am Milk Feed
8am Breakfast
9am Sleep
11am Milk Feed
12noon Lunch
1pm Sleep
3pm Milk Feed
4.30pm Sometimes will have a catnap, not lately
5.30pm Dinner
6.30pm Milk Feed
7pm Sleep

Thanks heaps
Shannon and Jakson

I have no idea why your little man would be doing that, but if he is content to talk to himself, why not just leave him? If it is not upsetting any other sleeps, I would just leave him, although him chatting for over an hour would drive me nuts!
The only thing that may be waking him is it is getting light earlier, so maybe his room is too light for him to stay asleep. One of the mums in my mums group got some outside blinds to make her DS room darker and he slept for another 2 hours!

hi thanks for your reply. if i let him just chat and then feed him at 7am won't he be tired before 9am and if i put him to sleep at like 8am instead his whole day will be out of wack?

I don't know if it will be out of whack. He might not want to go to sleep at 8am anyway, just because he has been awake earlier, he might be able top stay up longer because he is older? If you really want to stick to your above routine, you will have to resettle him - do it in his cot/where he sleeps and think about making his room darker.
