If LO wakes up before 6, i do everything i can to get her back to sleep. If she wakes up after 6, i usually just start the day. She goes to bed between 6 and 6:30, so I think it would be unreasonable for her to sleep in much past 6/6:30. But for some reason if she happens to wake at 5:45, that just seems too early! Maybe because it starts with a 5 lol. What is the earliest you will let LO get up to start the day? (not that we have any control over when they wake up, but you know what i mean!)

Anything before 615 is really too early for me...and even 6:15 is painful. I prefer 6:30 or later, if he wakes up in the 5 o'clock hour, i just treat it as a night waking, and if he wants to roll around in his crib fussing I let him. Usually he'll go back tosleep for a bit, thank goodness!
-
I don't turn the light on until 630! Before that I treat it like a night waking. He goes to be around 7.
-
we have such an early wakeup time already--5:30am--that i don't get him before that.
-
7am, but she's usually pretty good at not getting up before then. Because her sleep has been so messed up this weekend, yesterday we didn't start our day until 10am! It was as amazing as it sounds!
-
before 6 we try to get him back down...like today, it wasn't happening haha.
-
@hilsy85: i agree, 6:30am is my ideal!
@scg00387: i'm going to maybe try for a 7pm bedtime to see if it helps....for some reason, she sleeps better (i.e less night wakings) if she goes to bed at 6, but that translates to early start to the day!)
@edelweiss: do you set that wake up time for him or is that just what time he naturally wakes up?
@travelgirl1: ahhh jealous! 10am sounds blissful
@sarbear: lol i hear ya, some days it works and others we just get up and start the day! -
7:30am I treat as a night wake up because her normal wake up time is 8:30-9:30am, anything before this and she is a monster all day long! When she wakes up and isn't ready to get up, she cries. If she wakes up chatty, and it's earlier than normal, I will get her up. I guess I go off her mood.

My son is a very early riser. 10 hours of sleep and he is usually done. He goes to bed at 7:30. If he wakes before 5:30, he's not getting up.
I am so jealous of everyone who thinks that 6 or 6:30 is early. Ha!!
-
There were months where we had 5:30 am wakeups, we just went with it, because there was no way that my son would go back down. I tried everything, lol.
-
DD sometimes wakes up at 6:30 if she doesnt go back with boob and paci i will let her up and she plays for about an hour (she fights sleep like no tomorrow) then she gets tired I give her a bottle and paci and she will sleep for an hour. Then we head over to the babysitter's house
-
@winniebee: ha anytime I complain about Lo waking up early, I think of you and your early bird!
-
6am. I am a morning person, but not before 6am, lol.
-
@winniebee: I keep forgetting about your early riser! Aw man, i feel bad for all of "omg, my LO is waking up at 5!" posts.
I won't get her before 6:15am.
-
@NovBaby1112: i set that wake up time for him. i wish i didn't have to wake him up, i feel like he could sleep for another hour or so!
-
There was a period about a month ago when he would take a bottle at 5, then go back to sleep til 6:45. I thought it was amaaaazing! But, those days are gone.
-
LO doesn't wake up until 8 at the earliest. I usually wake up at 7, 6:30 is my earliest.
-
DS wakes up to nurse around 6ish, but I bring him into our bed to nurse in the AM and stay in bed til 7/730 am on my office days, and 8am on my at home days/wknds.
-
@NovBaby1112: that's the earliest our LO has ever gone down! My husband would flip if I suggested earlier I think haha.
-
Anything after 6! We're trying to get them to stretch it to 6:30 or 7, but so far, that isn't happening.
-
We ignore LO until at least 6:30. It used to be 7:30 but she has been getting up earlier lately (getting brighter earlier may be the issue?)
-
The goal is 7. She usually makes it, but sometimes gets up at 6:30. That's fine with me. Before 6 is just unacceptable
-
5:30. She often stretches until 7-something but lately there have been more early wakings during the 9 month regression.
-
Anything before 8am. Her normal wakeup is 8/8:30, so I dont like to encourage her to wake up earlier. I'll normally just let her hang out in her crib until she starts getting upset.
Although, it's been more like 9/9:30 since the time change.
-
He's 11 weeks so "up for the day" is more of a concept (unswaddle, lights on, change out of pjs and interact) since he goes down for his first nap about 45 minutes after waking. But he's up for the day around 6:45.
-
anything before 6:30 i treat as a night waking. right now, we're on a good track of getting up around 7. hope it stays that way!
