14 mth baby waking at 5am ..... it's too early .... pls help !

[ducdo]

Moved into my Mum's house for 8 wks whilst we're having building work on our house and my 14 mth old boy has started waking at 5am every day, like clockwork!! Normally sleeps 7am-7pm and I am really struggling with what to do.
Tried giving him the dummy but most I get is another hour but that's lucky. He is wide awake and wants to get up. Can't leave him to cry as he will wake the whole house.
I am exhausted and desparate for him to return to his good sleeping pattern.
He still has 30 min morning sleep and 1hr30 min afternoon sleep ... any help from fellow mums would be much appreciated :O)

um this is quite normal

get up with him, go downstairs, make a pot of tea, stick on the telly and get a blanket and snuggle under it with him. if he doesnt drop off you might or at least get some rest

itll pass, dont worry

DD did this. She is three now and only wakes up before 6am once in a blue moon. Most often sleeps till 6.45/7.

DD has phases of this too (NB. the word 'phases'!!!) - it's hell and sometimes it lasts for a few days and sometimes weeks but it does change and then you get a lie in and don't sleep because you're so tuned to waking early that it's wasted and then you get used to it and sleep and then they start waking early again.....

Just rest in the knowledge that it absolutely won't last forever

I agree it won't last forever, and I think it's better to just accept it and get on with it rather than try and fix it, because I found in the past I then ended up starting the day cross and stressed from trying to get a wide a wake child back to sleep for ninety minutes. Do as nailpolish suggests and go to bed an hour earlier. It IS a phase and will not last forever. {I have to keep telling myself this as my 6mth old is getting up at 4.} Hopefully, when you move back to your house he will go back to his normal routine. It's always harder at someone elses house as you are more aware of the noise and disturbing other people. Good luck.
