I also have this issue, Lo is often up at 530--not cool! Bedsharing doesn't work for us as he wants to play once r gets into bed with me. I'm hoping its just a phase!

we have been dealing with this off and on for several weeks--there was 1 week where he was consistently getting up around 4.30 (1 hour before his normal wakeup time). i looked up some previous threads and people say it's a phase, but as to how long this phase lasts, who knows!

oddly, there was one time where i looked on the monitor and saw that his arm was stuck in the slats. so i went in, quickly moved him and left (soothing/rocking/etc. doesn't work with him). he cried harder for about a minute and then oddly, went back to sleep.

would a pacifier work?

sorry i'm no help, but i empathize!

We went through this phase for awhile around 5-7 months...even after we sleep trained she was still waking bright and early (anytime between 5 and 5:45), 6 was sleeping in! We started not getting her out of her crib before 6. She would never really cry, just play in there. I think it was a combo of being a phase and me just realizing she wasn't one of those babies who needed 12 hours of overnight sleep. She is more of a 10-11 hours baby, but naps about 3-4 hours a day. So what we started doing was putting her to bed later, like 8/830, and she has been sleeping in until 630/7 with that bedtime. She is now back to 3 naps a day with the later bedtime when we were at 2 naps with the earlier bedtime, but it is working for us now

@NovBaby1112: my Lo is the same!! We've also been trying to do 3 naps and a later bedtime but he fights that 3rd nap? When do you try to wake your Lo up from her 3rd nap by?

@tinyperson: I have no suggestions, only empathy. LO is in our room too, and while she used to sleep in later in our bed, no longer. I was up again at 5 today.

@hilsy85: yea the third nap is tough sometimes, but usually a little boob knocks her out lol, if not, I pop her in the stroller and that works too. She has been napping around 8:30/9am for 1.5 hrs, 1pm for 1.5 hrs, and then a quick 30/45 min nap around 5/5:30. I don't let her nap past 6 tho. It's been working great the last few nights, which surprised me. Today she even slept in til 7:30 and she hasn't done that in forever! Prob shouldn't have let her bc now our schedule is thrown off but I wanted to sleep in lol
