Early AM wakings... anyone now how to change that?

So ds used to go to bed around 6:30-7pm. He'd wake up around 6-6:30am.

However lately he's been waking up around 5:30am for about 2 weeks now. When he doesn't nap well, we usually put him to bed at 6pm.

But lately it doesn't matter if we put him to bed at 6pm or 7pm... he still wakes at 5:30am, sometimes earlier!

Anyone know how to change this????

Maybe's its something with the moon phases, because my guy has been doing the same.... I'd love to hear any suggestions also!

DS has been doing this as well.

When you find out let me know..

I have two VERY early risers.

They have always been this way, and will sometimes wake up late, but for the most part are awake at 6:00 or 6:30, but sometimes earlier.

I have tried keeping them awake longer, stimulating the heck out them, run them around to poop them out... NOTHING has worked.

DD's been doing this the last 2 mornings too-- up by 5:30 am after waking a few times during the night too

I wish I had a solution for you!

Gavin's been up at 5:45 for the past few mornings too. Hope you figure it out and let me know wat it is

Does he scream? DS wakes up around then and whines for a while but I won't allow him out before 6:45 am . He doesn't scream and cry, just little cries and usually falls back asleep.

i wish i did i am in the same boat here

Re: Early AM wakings... anyone now how to change that?

I wish I had an answer. Ryan goes to sleep around 8 and typically sleeps until 7. This morning he got up at 6, I went in and nursed him. Then put him back in his crib and he went back to sleep until 8:30.

I want to start putting him to bed earlier but I am afraid he will wake up earlier. So I just stick with this schedule.

I used to think that my dd woke up late only on days when I worked. Then I came to realize that she woke up early everyday and on the days I work, I would be in the shower so she would go back to sleep before I got out. ( I take long showers.) Now she sleeps till 8:30 everyday, except when I wake her to go to work. My ds was the same way...a late sleeper. Probably for the same reason.
