A thread for my early waking friends who want a whinge

[fififrog]

A few weeks back there were quite a few of us with DCs about a year old, too young for gro clocks etc waking up TOO BLOOMING EARLY. Where are you all at now? DD seems to be getting earlier. Cough not helping but we had 4.55 this morning. I hate to say it but I actually enjoyed her being ill last week as she slept til 6.30 once. Some mornings I think "just a long phase we can live with it" but this morning I was in total despair. Will I ever be able to make it to 10pm without thinking I will regret staying up this late??! I know some of you will say stick with the messing around with morning nap, it will fix it, but to be honest I don't believe it will and I just want to WHINGE to people who will understand!!

Great Terry! funny I was looking at your name thinking "i'm sure it was Terry pratchett I must be going mad!"

That would be the cumulative lack of sleep! I'll be back to normal in October. I may adopt this name for Christmas, though.

Hi ladies-we're back to pre-6 here-grrrr!

I'm due in 4.5 weeks-Aaaaaaaaargh!

Scared shitless

Ps-congrats to u both by the way-it's so hard to crack that 6am barrier-well done on the success. I hope I have some success bloody quick or I'm stuffed!

Well, I am not hopeful it's sorted for good, I'm sure we'll always be blighted to some extent and sleeping later than six is still a distant memory. Did you feel you were having some success the last few weeks? Hope the last four weeks treat you kindly :)

MrsTCO think I am just used to calling you Terry! Prob wouldn't even have noticed except that I am reading Mr Pratchett at the moment!

Oh feeno I wish you a sleeper this time.

Glad to hear you are reading my normal namesake fifi he is pretty great.

Hi all,

Just a quick one to say that DS has continued to sleep past 6am, 7am and sometimes 8am. We have had a blissful week of a growth spurt where he started being WOKEN at 8.15am. Rediculous. But this morning was a more normal 7:20am.

Not trying to gloat in any way, just to say that the Ferber book appears to have been what we needed. I know it isn't for all of you though.

Good luck, especially feeno. Perhaps when the new one comes and you physically CANNOT be around as much your LO may sort themself out .
