I'm not right now, but I feel your pain! I don't remember how we stopped DS doing it, but at 14 months he makes it to 6:45 almost every day.
Maybe stop going in there? I do that if DS wakes up before 6 am, I know he's still tired so I just let him fuss for a little and he often goes back to sleep.

@novbaby1112 We put our kiddos to bed early. I think when he was six months old it was probably 6 pm ish. We recently pushed it back to the late late bedtime of 7 pm hahaha. Whenever I try the "put to bed later" method it backfires on me. They sleep worse and wake up earlier.

Yes, yes, yes! LO is 5 months on Sunday, and we put her to bed around 6:30 or 7. She sleeps till about 2 or so, I feed her, then she'll go back down till 5 or 5:15. I can put the soother in, but I only get 15-20 minutes until she wants it again, I keep doing that until she starts chatting and blowing raspberries :). She's still in our room at this point.

Last night, just to see what would happen I gave her the soother at 2, and she slept till 4:30. I fed her, and thought shed go back down, but she was chatting and grinning away. Brought her downstairs and played, then took her back up around 5:40 and got her down - she was up ten minutes later. DH took her for 30 minutes so I could get a nap, then I fed her and she's been napping on me since 7:30!

I can't really omit the night feed - she's a tiny girl. And the
Ped is still worried about weight gain...

What to do! It does throw the AM schedule right off!

Going thru it now! A is 22 wks! He's been sttn since 12 wks 7-7 then after regression 7-6 but the past wk he's been awake at 430 playimg by himself til 5 or 530 wanting to nurse. I nurse him in our bed n we wakeup at 730

We are a little ahead of you (Oct baby!) and just went through this awfulness in April. I just rode it and followed her lead on the early wake up/early nap/thrown off day. We had sleep trained her before this "happened" so I was sad to lose that it seemed! It passed and now she's attempting sttn after going back to 7-7 sleeping w/ one quick waking for bottle. Hope it passes soon!

Yes. My toddler sleeps until 6 on a late day, 5 or earlier on a bad day. Some of it is that she eats like a bird and wakes up hungry, which sucks. Most of it is that she just doesn't need much sleep, and is eager to get up and get the party started.

I don't think you can do much to fix these things. They'll sleep when they sleep.

My Nov baby is going through something similar! She goes down around 7:30 and used to wake up to eat at 3:30 and then go back to sleep. Now she doesn't wake up until 4:30 or 5 and at that point she thinks it's time to get up! The only way to get her to sleep more is to nurse her in bed and then just let her snuggle with me. It sucks because I am uncomfortable and don't really sleep but at least I can close my eyes.

@NovBaby1112: I've thought about a dream feed but I try to go to bed around 9 anyway and I think if I tried to wake her then she might not go back down. Plus I don't want her to get used to eating at that time. I'm hoping since she progressed from waking at 3:30 to waking at 4:30 that she'll just keep on stretching her sleep time as she gets bigger and eventually sleep through the night. This morning I let her lay in the bed for a solid ten minutes after she was done eating and then she did go back in her crib for another hour and a half! Phew!

@edelweiss: I really have no advice because LO is now waking at 5:30. I'm trying to get her to stretch it to 6, I guess I could not feed her until 6? IDK, because I'm still trying to get her to give up her night feed. SIGH.

@edelweiss: We finally just got by it, maybe within the last two weeks....! She sttn from 7pm to 6:15am now (no wakings for feedings). We had been giving her paci 5-6am to get more sleep out of her, and it worked, and eventually she just got to sleeping until just after 6am, and that is fine by me!

@Beebug: glad things have improved so much! hope my LO will do the same. dearly, sincerely, fervently hope.

@edelweiss: My usual 7-730 sleeper went through a couple of weeks of 530 wakeups... it was a phase and while our "schedule" was off for a few weeks, he now sleeps 7-6, 7-7 regularly... "THIS TOO SHALL PASS"
