Hi all,
My DD is 8mo and is a pretty good sleeper (she wasn't up until 5mo, but that's another story!). But for the last 3 months she's been waking at 5:15am on the dot every single day, apart from once when she was ill. Wheb she wakes at 5ish, we've been treating it as a night waking, and not taking her out of the cot until 6am.
Here is her daily routine:
6am: 6oz bottle
7:15am: breakfast
8am: nap
9:30am: wake up
10am: 6oz bottle
12pm: lunch
12:30pm: nap
2pm: wake up, 6oz bottle
4pm: short nap/quiet time
4:30pm: wake up
5pm: dinner
7pm: bath
7:30pm: bed
We don't hear a peep from her between 7:30pm and 5:15am, which is brilliant! But if we get her up for the day at that time, she's tired again by 6am. So as I said, we've been treating it as a night waking. But even when she does go back to sleep, she's just dozing, and wakes every 15 mins until 6am, by which time we've given up on trying to go back to sleep ourselves.
Can anyone see where we are going wrong routine-wise? Or any ideas of what else we can try? Or should we just accept that 5:15 wake ups are just her thing now?
