In the last month, we have gotten way out of sync with baby's sleep and it has gotten worse in the last few days with j waking up at 4, ready for the day. I have tried feeding him and putting him back down, but he doesn't fall asleep until close to 6 when he should be getting up. He'll then sleep until almost 8 and our schedule is totally off for the rest of the day. He has been fighting naps with a passion lately and when we finally do get him to sleep, I hate to wake him up bc he needs the sleep, he's terribly overtired.
Should I just wake him up at the same time every day so we can stay on schedule and he will eventually catch up? Can babies "catch up" on missed sleep?
