Assuming they are in cribs, what about also putting some toys accessible in there for the 30-45 minute gap between when you have to get up for work and when they get up. </p> <p>Hoping someone will have something brilliant to tell you! I searched the boards and it looked like @Ra had an early riser for a little while too. She pulled him into bed with her - not sure if you are interested in this. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-waking-amp-early-bed-time#post-1968137 Tue, 02 Dec 2014 17:15:02 +0000 knittylady 1968137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Following!

Always. For a short time they slept until 6:30am but that was oh so long ago...they wake at 5:45 on a great day but 5:00-5:30 most days with the occasional 4:45 thrown in. It is just too early sometimes. Hubby and I get up at 5:30 for work most days so I don't know that there's a lot of hope for them...but it would be nice to sleep in once in a while on a weekend. Their bedtime is 6:30 and I KNOW the obvious thing is to put them to bed later, but it seems like we have tried to do that and they wake up just as early. Any advice? Prior to the time change we put them down at 7-7:15 for a week straight and were rewarded with 4:45 wakeups. I guess my questions are--how do you adjust bedtime, really? Am I stuck with early wakings? Other info--they have darkening curtains and a sound machine. </p>
