Ideas on how to stop my 5 month old from pooing every morning at 5am!

[Jewelsandgems]

Help help!

My DD2 is 5 months old and she has been sleeping from 7pm til 6am for ages. Except for the past 3 weeks. Instead, every day at around 5am she poos! And then wakes us to change her! Now, most of the time, I change her and pop her straight back to bed and she sleeps til around 7am but it is exhausting! Is there anything we can do diet wise/change feeding times/etc during the day that can make a difference? Honastly, any ideas at all are very welcome!!

lol

sorry

maybe there is some brill solution, will lurk to find out

DS2, now aged 13 months, goes through phases of doing this. Haven't found any solutions but just to say that she will probably stop soon - it won't last for ever!
Last week DS2 managed three mornings in a row when he woke with a dirty nappy at 6 am that was so revolting that I had to bath him. thank goodness that I have no social life and therefore no hangovers these days...

Sorry, you have a 5 month-old that sleeps 12 hours with one wake up?! Mine woke up every single hour of every singke night at that age. Count yourself lucky and wait for it to pass (ha, ha not literally of course).

Jewels, I think you may have to get used to it! It's tiring when you get a change in routine, I know, but I'm with TeeBee a bit - your baby sleeps Fantastically - you could get hordes of very tired people on here narrowing their eyes at you in envy...

Jewels, darling ... I won't go so far as to say "one 5am wakeup is not exhausting" but I agree, it's amazingly good that she's sleeping for so long. I remember this phase and it sucked but it will pass in a few weeks. I can assure you it's even less fun if you're cosleeping [vomit]

Sorry everyone you are right others have a lot more to moan about....it is just a bit annoying!

Lol moroco no brill solution so far - maybe something needs inventing for such inconveniences!

Oooh and good point from Rosemary there - would be much harder to deal with if we were doing co-sleeping (she is a sicky baby too!) there would be sick and poo EVERYWHERE!
