I bring him into bed with us and nurse him back to sleep so I can get another hour. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-i-convince-my-8-month-old-to-sleep-past-430am#post-1281247 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 23:54:28 +0000 autumn865 1281247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went through the 4:30-4:45 wake up from about 10 months until 13 months. She's gradually gotten better and is back to her usual 6:30ish wake up but the only thing that made things better was time. We tried EVERYTHING just like you and resorted to bringing her to bed until she eventually passed out but there were many mornings we were making breakfast by 5am. Maybe what might have helped was switching to one nap? With one nap DD is tired and ready to pass out by 6:30/7. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-i-convince-my-8-month-old-to-sleep-past-430am#post-1281215 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 23:00:19 +0000 Smurfette 1281215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish I knew the answer so I could do it. Our pedi said we are doing everything right, just have to wait it out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-i-convince-my-8-month-old-to-sleep-past-430am#post-1280972 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 20:08:25 +0000 erinpye 1280972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When you find out let me know! Our 20 month old has never slept past 6 AM, and for the last 5-6 months has been rising for the day at 5-5:45, no matter when we put her down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-i-convince-my-8-month-old-to-sleep-past-430am#post-1280971 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 20:08:19 +0000 QueensBee 1280971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Blue: Thanks for the reminder that this is probably just a phase. I had no idea there was a nine month sleep regression! Here's hoping all these boys move past this sooooon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-i-convince-my-8-month-old-to-sleep-past-430am#post-1280516 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 15:50:47 +0000 Mrs. Blue 1280516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have no answers but just wanted to sympathize. F has been waking up for his early morning bottle and just WON"T go back to sleep regardless of what time he woke up, whether it's 3 or 5:30. Ughh.. I'm hoping it's some 9-month regression thing. Hope LO starts sleeping betters soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-i-convince-my-8-month-old-to-sleep-past-430am#post-1280246 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 14:37:59 +0000 QueensBee 1280246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi everyone!</p> <p>DS is almost nine months old and, in general, he is a good sleeper. He passes out right after his bath and bottle, usually between 6:30-7pm. I can put him in his crib drowsy but awake and he gets himself to sleep on his own.</p> <p>At the seven month mark, he started sleeping through the night until about 6am. It was blissful. However, he has now started waking up at 4:30am every morning. He is more reliable than my alarm clock! I KNOW he is not ready to start the day at this time because he will rub his eyes and act cranky all morning. </p> <p>For the past few weeks, we've been bringing him into bed with us to give him a bottle. Right after his bottle, he falls back asleep (in our bed) until we all get up for work at 6am. I stay in bed with him beside me and close my eyes, but I am not able to actually get any restful sleep with this set up.</p> <p>We've tried adjusting the bedtime. We've tried having him cry it out in the morning but his screaming just escalates. We've tried rocking back to sleep in the crib after the bottle, giving a pacifier, giving a blanket. I am at a loss! Any other ideas or am I destined to never sleep past 4:30am again? </p>
