 Topic: Early waking - 1yr old
Posted: 26 April 2010 at 2:45pm |
|
Argh - Amy has started waking at around 4.30am nearly every morning and now I am getting tired and really sick of it. It doesn't appear to be related to DLS as it has only been about 2 weeks...
Trouble is that she wakes Luke too - so we have 2 tired kids on our hands.
I have tried making sure she is warm enough and tucking her back down, wrapping her to settle her, giving a bottle - but nothing seems to make any difference. She seems to think it is time to wake up...
We are reasonably happy to leave her to cry, but she still doesn;t settle back to sleep so that doesn't really achieve anything. I don't get her out of bed before 6am.
Help! Any other ideas??

Ouch that does sound painful!!!
Around that age DS started waking really early so I moved him to one day sleep and it fixed the problem but obviously that's not suitable for every little person xx

I had ben wondering about moving to one sleep, trouble is, that at the moment she is ready around 9am for a sleep... but might try for a few days and see if I can stretch her out

Hmmm interesting... Campbell has been waking early lately too, around 6am when he normally wakes around 7am. I thought it was DH getting up that was waking him, but DH always gets up at that time. He's been alternating a bit lately between 1 and 2 day sleeps, and funnily enough he's been having 2 mostly lately. Maybe he is ready for just 1 day sleep?

Hmm am pretty sure she is warm enough - she sleeps in a cotton singlet, flannel jammies and a merino bag (often no blankets tho). There is no heating in her room, but grobag egg says around 20c most of time

Oh we went through that about a week ago - I have no idea what his problem was, I alternated between giving him a drink and putting back to bed and letting him cry it out (which I don't like doing but I wasn't going to get him up early either!). After about 10 days he just stopped. Still two sleeps a day, and he def needs them.
Sorry, not too much help here!

Eeep! You poor thing, so tiring 
Callum was still ready for a nap around 9am when he started transitioning to one day sleep but we managed to stretch it out a little bit each day over about a week I think it was. He goes down any time between 10am - 11.30am now and will sleep for up to three hours (so actually not much less sleep in total than before) but because he's up longer in the afternoon he's way tireder at bedtime which seems to help him get a good night's sleep. The days he has two day sleeps now he will generally stay up at least 30 mins later and wake up earlier too.
