After returning from a long trip and major jetlag, we got him on a new schedule and now he goes to sleep later at night (7:30) and doesn't get up until 7am. I'm loving it!!!! He used to be up around 5:30am. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-always-been-an-earlyaveragelate-riser#post-1294399 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 14:14:49 +0000 mrsbookworm 1294399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>N is definitely an early riser and treating that first wake up as an extension of night does. not. work! He'll just scream (and he can really keep it up). He's incredibly happy when he wakes up at 5am and ready to go! I'm hoping as he gets older, he'll be able to sleep in a little longer! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-always-been-an-earlyaveragelate-riser#post-1294328 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 13:27:01 +0000 NovBaby1112 1294328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would say M is an average riser most of the time- sleeping until 6:30/7. She has had her fair share of early risings- waking up at 5/5:30, but those are usually just phases that come and go! Last week she actually slept in until 8/8:30 a few days, which I don't think has ever happened! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-always-been-an-earlyaveragelate-riser#post-1294300 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 13:17:28 +0000 Mrs. Confetti 1294300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mamainprogress: You'll understand it if you ever have a child who is unwilling to go back to sleep and screams/fusses rather than falls back asleep or chills in the crib. (And I hope that you never have to understand it - it sucks).</p> <p>C has always been an early riser, and it sucks. At almost 19 months, I am THRILLED on days he sleeps until 6 am. We had one freak day last weekend where he slept until 8, and I couldn't believe it. My body is so programmed now to wake at 5:40 that I couldn't sleep in anyways... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-always-been-an-earlyaveragelate-riser#post-1294286 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 13:10:29 +0000 Smurfette 1294286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@DillonLion: holy crap! That would be DH and my dream. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-always-been-an-earlyaveragelate-riser#post-1294258 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 13:00:06 +0000 Mamasig 1294258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mamainprogress: @Foodnerd81: I wish I could just feed DS and put him back to sleep. When he wakes up, he is UP for the day! As in not sleepy, bouncing up and down, ready to start the day and play. He's pretty much been like this since birth. I always thought babies slept a lot. In my house, that's a myth! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-always-been-an-earlyaveragelate-riser#post-1293881 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 10:49:46 +0000 lawbee11 1293881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: I swear we have the same baby :) LO woke up at 6 this morning but I nursed her and put her back in her crib and she slept until 7:45. Usually if she wakes up before 7/7:15 I know it's too early and she'll go back to sleep. I can also tell because when she's up for the day she wakes up cooing. Any other time she wakes up crying or fussing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-always-been-an-earlyaveragelate-riser#post-1293866 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 10:45:57 +0000 Foodnerd81 1293866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's only 4.5 months old but seems to be a relatively late riser-- usually wakes between 7:30 and 8:30 for the day.</p> <p>@mamainprogress: Yeah I'm a little confused too-- basically, if she wakes up before I think it's time to wake up (before 7) then I go in, feed her in the pitch dark, and put her back in her crib. Even if it's 6 am she will usually go back to sleep, it's pretty rare that she will stay up. And if she doesn't go back to sleep, it's DH's turn since she's no longer hungry anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-always-been-an-earlyaveragelate-riser#post-1293833 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 10:38:46 +0000 Dandelion 1293833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He has been an early bird his whole life. But, he's always gone to bed early, too. I'm also and early bird (DH, too!) so, it's not a big deal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-always-been-an-earlyaveragelate-riser#post-1293459 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 08:14:28 +0000 BananaPancakes 1293459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Average. Always been around 7/7:30, except for the first few days after a time change. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-always-been-an-earlyaveragelate-riser#post-1293417 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 07:44:23 +0000 Bookish 1293417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mamainprogress: well, in our case, we have to be out the door for daycare at 715, which means she can't wake up any later than 630 in order to get ready on time. If she wakes up at 5, we'll try (usually unsuccessfully) to get her to sleep more, but any later than that and we don't bother-she has to get up soon enough anyways! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-always-been-an-earlyaveragelate-riser#post-1293391 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 07:05:24 +0000 mamainprogress 1293391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a bit confused about this. Generally I don't like to get up before six so if my LO wakes up earlier or at this time I will just feed him and put him back to bed as I would a night time feed. When we're ready to get up (at about seven or eight) we'll get ready for the day. If you have an early riser does that mean they just won't go back to sleep? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-always-been-an-earlyaveragelate-riser#post-1293379 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 06:52:14 +0000 Charm54 1293379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Late...since she has started STTN she is a 9-930 kind of girl. That will all have to change when she starts going to daycare though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-always-been-an-earlyaveragelate-riser#post-1293378 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 06:49:56 +0000 Bookish 1293378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Early! She hasn't slept past 6am in loooong time. Apparently she takes after me... Darn! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-always-been-an-earlyaveragelate-riser#post-1293257 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 00:39:33 +0000 Pepper 1293257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Late. He wakes up early for a morning bottle then goes right back to bed til 9 or 10. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-always-been-an-earlyaveragelate-riser#post-1293256 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 00:38:23 +0000 sarac 1293256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter has shifted over time, lately sleeping until 6 or 7, depending on bedtime and such. Her constant has always been very low sleep needs. 10 - 12 total hours daily, all of her life. 9-10 hours overnight, 1 or 2 for a nap, daily. Just like her father, and it serves him well. I'm so jealous of people with toddlers who sleep 7-7, though. My daughter is still happily bouncing off the walls at nearly 10, right now. And she'll be up by 7, whenever she goes to sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-always-been-an-earlyaveragelate-riser#post-1293071 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 23:02:25 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 1293071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>D wakes up around 6:15 every single day. Amazing how consistent it is! Luckily, my husband gets up with him every single day! (I work early during the week and he lets me sleep in on weekends.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-always-been-an-earlyaveragelate-riser#post-1293044 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 22:55:03 +0000 Mamasig 1293044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Early! He used to wake up between 5-6 regularly. Now at 15 months, he usually wakes up between 6 -6:30. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-always-been-an-earlyaveragelate-riser#post-1293040 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 22:53:24 +0000 autumnlove 1293040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually 7-7:30. I guess that is late because I wake up around 5. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-always-been-an-earlyaveragelate-riser#post-1293010 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 22:43:21 +0000 DillonLion 1293010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Later and later. Last weekend she slept in until 1015. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-always-been-an-earlyaveragelate-riser#post-1292936 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 22:11:37 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1292936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Charlie was an early riser, getting up around 5:30 or earlier until he was almost 2 I think. But thankfully he outgrew it and started waking up around 7:30 or even later. Nowadays (he just turned 4) he wakes up between 7-8am.</p> <p>Olive has always been a late riser. She woke up after 9am for a very long time, and slept a lot at night. She's been waking up between 7:00 - 7:30 for a while, but this morning she woke up at 5am which she has never done. (Could be because we're trying to wean.) Oh man if she becomes an early riser after we wean, I'm going to be so sad. I'm such not a morning person!</p> <p>What are your LO's morning waking times like? </p>
