10 month old. Won't sleep past 5am, and it is creeping earlier, not later as the mornings get darker.
Also wakes several times in the night. Sometimes back rubbing works, sometimes a cuddle, sometimes an hour of pacing the kitchen.

Takes ages to get him down at night too. Constantly teething and seems to have a new cold every fortnight. A cold means near hourly waking.

His big sister gets really distressed if he gets to hysterical crying, cue her not being able to get to sleep or being woken up when she is otherwise pretty good at sleeping.
He is VERY determined. So I cant imagine CC or gradual withdrawal provoking anything other than hysterical crying.

I don't know what to do.
Can anyone help?

Would you consider co-sleeping for some of the night?

What is the worst bit for you? Getting to sleep? Staying asleep, or the mornings?

I'd pick the one you'd really like to sort, and work on that.

Its difficult, but I've shifted my day, we get up early, and go to bed early - like I'm off now.

my 5 year old still wakes at 5.10 most mornings
