Just for fun!
Would you rather a baby that wakes once in the early morning (say sometime between 3-5) but sleeps til 7, or a baby that sleeps straight through til 5:30 or 6 but is then up for the day?
My baby just went from scenario 1 to scenario 2 and I can't decide if I'm happy about it. Either way he's a rock star so I'm happy with his sleep but I think the super early mornings are starting to get to me, too - sometimes I think a quick 5 minute feed in the MOTN is worth the extra hour in the morning! He's 8 months but I put the question to all moms!

Straight. I wake up early.
-
definitely 1 motn wake up for me.
-
option 1! I'm not a morning person so the longer I'm able to stay in bed in the mornings the better
-
Option 1, for sure. Fortunately, DD usually complies!
-
I'm in the same situation as you! LO just started STTN but wakes early...I went back to work at 6 weeks though; so I guess I only miss the MOTN feed/later sleep during the weekends.
-
Option 1! We unfortunately just pushed forward the MOTN wake up plus she's been getting up around 530 instead of 715. WTH?? She's 13.5 months. I have no idea why she decided to mess it all up but I'm getting tired. Her naps are amazing now though.
-
Haha I posted the same question a while back when c was doing option 1. I'm not really sure which I prefer- but it's not like you get a choice anyway.
Unfortunely c is tryin this thing where she wakes up super early and won't go back to sleep at all. Go back to sleeping until after six!
-
Option #1 - I hate getting up early.
-
I would pick option 1, but really EITHER sounds HEAVENLY to me! Longing for the day when we get to have either!
-
Straight through, but I have a terrible time falling back asleep. My 10 month old is still doing the option 1 right now and it's killing me!
-
I HATE MOTN so I would pick Option 2.
But I still consider 5:30am to be MOTN so maybe I'm screwed either way.
-
Option 2. I'm an insomniac and find it really, really hard to go back to sleep if I'm woken up.
-
LO has been both, and I much prefer sleeping right through. Once he wakes up that first time I don't get much sleep after that. We are fighting hard for no earlier than 6 though. 5:30 feels so brutal.
-
Option 2---that's when I wake up and we could do that. The motn wake ups kill me.
-
Option two. Hands down.
-
Option 1!
-
Option 1. LO did the 5:30 wakeup for a while, but after a quick feed would go back to sleep until 730/8. It never really bothered me.
-
Option 2. I have no issues getting up early....and I have to be out the door by 7 anyways
-
Option 2, it takes me so long to go back to sleep I don't know if I could go back to sleep. Plus I can't sleep til 7 on weekdays
-
Option 2, especially now that I have two kids.
-
Option 1. My LO used to do this and it was fine with me.
-
Mine has gone back and forth and I can't decide either.
-
Option 1! I'm Always waking up to check on her anyways so might as well feed for 10 mins and get more sleep!
-
Definitely option 1! My LO had a while where she slept until 8 or 8:30 every morning with one wakeup to eat at 4am. I loved it. It was so easy-- up, feed, rock back to sleep-- I'm in bed in 30 min. I was SO well rested because I got to sleep in late every day and a 30 min wakeup is seriously NBD. Now LO wakes more at night and then is up for the day at 6am. Even the rare time when she sleeps through til 6 it sucks. Thats sooo early and I'm missing like an extra 2+ hrs of sleep.
-
Either option sounds lovely to me
-
Either way at would be amazing! DS wakes twice and usually is up between 7-8.
-
Option 2. I hate waking up in the middle of the night, but don't mind being up around 6 am.
-
Straight. I'm a morning person but I love my sleep. M just did the opposite of your kid and it's wearing on me.
-
Option 2! It's so hard for me to fall back asleep in the middle of the night, so I'd rather we both got a solid amount of sleep and then got up for the day.
-
My baby wakes up at 4:30-5 most days, so I would be thrilled if she slept through till 5:30-6, haha.
Some night she has a wakeup (or two) and is STILL up for the day at 5 am.
