Even if we put him down later his natural clock was set to that time. It was brutal. Around 13 months we switched bedtime to 8 and he eventually started sleeping til 6, then 630. Now he sleeps til 630 or 7 pretty consistently (he's 17 months). We just had to wait it out and on weekends would take turns sleeping in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-waking#post-1148408 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 08:25:02 +0000 hilsy85 1148408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For us it was a phase...he was waking around 5:30. It was awful! I would try not to get him out of his crib til 6, unless he was really crying hard. EVentually it passed, but even now at almost 1, he has days where he'll wake up at 6 a few days in a row, and then go back to his normal 630/645. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-waking#post-1147996 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 20:05:27 +0000 MamaBehr 1147996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS totally did this for awhile, I don't think it ever got earlier than 5:30 or so. Nothing I did would change it, but he did grow out of it. Now he sleeps until 7 to 7:30 (GLORIOUS!!), but not because I did anything.<br /> Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-waking#post-1147869 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 18:56:02 +0000 autumn865 1147869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went through this around months 10-13. Now at almost 14 months she has pushed it back to 5:30 so a bit better but still not great. No real advice in how we did it nothing's really changed (except maybe a little later bed 7:30 versus 7). Honestly I think it's only time... Maybe? I'll let you know when we're over this early phase lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-waking#post-1147567 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 12:39:20 +0000 LittleFox 1147567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Glad to hear some babies outgrow this stage. I've been getting a little scared he would always be getting up at 4:30! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-waking#post-1147124 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 21:00:27 +0000 Andrea 1147124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had this phase and we just waited it out so no real advice. I think they do outgrow it, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-waking#post-1147080 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 20:36:45 +0000 regberadaisy 1147080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LittleFox: my lo went through a phase like this a few times! It was killer!!! Nothing we did worked. We just took turns getting up with her. The worst part is she would want a nap by 7 and we were up for the day. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-waking#post-1147073 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 20:29:38 +0000 JoJoGirl 1147073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Subscribing cause we have this problem too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-waking#post-1147059 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 20:14:03 +0000 LittleFox 1147059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lately, for about the past month, LO is 9 months old and has been waking insanely early. He goes to bed around 7:30pm each night, but has been waking consistently between 4:30am and 5:30am (that's sleeping in for us). It's crazy! The sun is not even up yet! I've tried changing his bedtime in case it was too early, but then he just wakes that early and is grumpy because he got less sleep. </p> <p>Help! What are your tips for early risers? If I could just get him to stay asleep until 6 or 6:30, I would be SO happy! </p>
