Maybe I'll try turning the monitor down a bit; thanks for the advice. He's just on the other side of the wall, so I do hear him, monitor or no, if he really cries and needs me.</p> <p>I've just learned to deal with the last few hours before dawn myself. My husband is a real night owl, so on those (at this point, extremely rare) nights our son wakes up sometime between 10:30 and 2:30, at least he's still awake and swoops in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/predawn-fussies#post-351513 Sat, 20 Oct 2012 09:39:21 +0000 pastemoo 351513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p><a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=362363770521147&#038;set=a.104981629592697.10660.101681009922759&#038;type=1&#038;theater" rel="nofollow">http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=362363770521147&#038;set=a.104981629592697.10660.101681009922759&#038;type=1&#038;theater</a><br /> (only applies to some husbands) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/predawn-fussies#post-351509 Sat, 20 Oct 2012 09:37:41 +0000 LAGS 351509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO used to just flat out wake up from 3am on. I haaate the early morning hours. Today was the first day where she did what you've described. I heard her moaning and fussing a little at 4 and 5 am but didn't go check her. Thank goodness she stayed asleep until 6!</p> <p>I agree with @Sammyfab:, I would just do your best to ignore it. It wakes me up too, but only momentarily which is much better than hauling butt out of bed to check. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/predawn-fussies#post-351491 Sat, 20 Oct 2012 09:22:02 +0000 cvbee 351491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As long as he stays asleep I wouldn't worry. </p> <p>I often have to cosleep during those hours to keep him asleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/predawn-fussies#post-351464 Sat, 20 Oct 2012 08:41:19 +0000 Sammyfab 351464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Babies are in a very light sleep stage in the early morning hours. You said that your LO isn't really awake during this time, correct? If he's not fully awake then I would just leave him be (i.e. don't go in at all). i know the noises bother you and keep you up, but my best advice is to use some white noise or turn your monitor down. </p> <p>My LO is almost 8 months and while he doesn't make a lot of noise in the early am, he does move around a ton. This morning I watched baby TV from 5:30-6:30 and my LO was rolling around non-stop but stayed asleep the whole time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/predawn-fussies#post-351437 Sat, 20 Oct 2012 08:01:30 +0000 Springtime 351437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have any advice for you! But can totally relate with a DH who doesn't hear a thing! It's so aggravating! He can sleep through LO crying, fussing, anything! This morning at 4 am, I had to ask him 3 times to make us a bottle so I can tend to LO, needless to say he still didn't get up. I was pretty pissed lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/predawn-fussies#post-351434 Sat, 20 Oct 2012 07:58:23 +0000 pastemoo 351434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It started at 4 weeks... at 5 months still going strong--this is why we moved him out of our room. And why the monitor sound is turned WAaaaaay down.<br /> Sorry :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/predawn-fussies#post-351405 Sat, 20 Oct 2012 06:46:38 +0000 TubeAlloy 351405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The good news is, my 5.5 month old son will sometimes sleep until 6 am without getting up! The bad news is, the last few nights, he has started fussing intermittently in his sleep from 4-6. I go in to console him, and he's asleep and doesn't respond to much soothing. It's not constant - it 's like every 10 minutes or so, he'll fuss for a minute, then to all appearances be sleeping peacefully again. Until 10 minutes later. Repeat until we get up for the day.</p> <p>I doubt there's any advice for this. I'm just curious if others have through this phase, how long it lasted, and if I'm the only one with a husband who never hears a thing (though he did hear me groan when it started again this morning - ha!). </p>
