Hi,
I'm getting desperate but feel I have tried everything! My son's wake up call is ALWAYS between 4-5am and pretty much always has been so this isn't new and I'm now convinced it's how his body clock has trained! He has been weaning the last couple of weeks (he's 5.5 months old advised to start at 5 months due to amount of milk taking and reflux) and he will usually have a bottle around 4:30 then have his tea (a veg purée) around 5:30, bathtime around 6:30, bottle (8oz) around 7 and straight to sleep. He'll usually wake between 10-11:30 for another bottle takes around 4-5oz and go back to sleep and then he wakes for the day from 4am! He isn't even waking up hungry as if i feed him straight away he'll only take 2-3oz he wakes up screeching with excitement and talking! We have tried ignoring him and he gets frustrated and starts screaming, we have tried getting him in bed with us for cuddles and he just wants to play, we have tried earlier bedtime, later bedtime, tried bottle and cuddle then put back down... Tried everything we can think of even by the Heath visitors account! I'm just so tired! I wouldn't mind even 5:30/6am wake up call... But 4am it's still the middle of the night :(! Any tips?
Thank you
