My daughter is a few days away from being 10 months old, and throughout her whole life so far she’s just an amazing sleeper. She loves her sleep. Sleeps minimum 12 hours a night. We’ve had 1 spout of some sort of regression when she was about 5 month which lasted a month but then went straight back to sleeping minimum 12 hours a night again.
Shes currently on a 2 nap routine which works well for her as her awake windows are currently about 3 hours long.
All of a sudden though she’s started waking up at 5am on the dot everyday, no matter what time she goes to bed she’ll be awake at 5am. She doesn’t cry, doesn’t call out, just lays awake, has abit of a roll around, looks at the pictures on her walls etc, but is still awake. If I get her up, she barely stays awake 1.5/2 hours and I’ll have to put her back down again and she’ll sleep another 2 hours or so if I let her!!
I just don’t know what’s happened to cause the early wakings? I wasn’t sure if this was common or if it sounds like she needs a routine change, I didn’t want to do anything yet without advice incase I make it worse..
her room is dark with black out blinds, it’s cool, it’s got her hatch machine on with the beloved white noise, she loves her room & being in there. We’re quite in the mornings to not wake her up. Just not sure what’s changed as it feels very sudden, and she’s struggling each day with tiredness now, constantly yawning. Not as full of energy.
She’s not hungry either, we’ve tried a couple time feeding her seeing if it’s that but it’s not. She currently has 3 meals a day plus about 4 bottles.
Any advice is welcome! I appreciate your time!
