For the past few weeks my DTs have been waking early, but now it's getting worse- for the past few days they've been waking about 4:30am. They just babble away for an hour or so and then eventually start crying. We've started to feed them, but it doesn't seem to make much difference as they don't go back to sleep. We've also started a dream feed at about 11pm, again this doesn't seem to make much difference and they still wake up just as early. They're almost 5 months and they can self settle. Does anyone know if this will resolve on it's own?
I'm starting to panic as my eldest was a terrible sleeper (I was getting about 3 hours a night when she was this age) and the sleep deprivation made me feel ill- I'm so terrified if getting back to that. I did sleep training on my eldest so she would self settle and from then on has been perfect. As the DTs can self settle is there any point doing sleep training? Will they grow out if this? I'm thinking of bringing in a sleep consultant, but I'd have to scrape together the money- do you think it'd be worth it?
Thanks
