Anyone else up at 5am?!

[holly47]

I love my toddler dearly but he is a b*dy pain!!! 4.50am this morning he was screaming the house down in his cot. There's no way he would have gone back to sleep so I brought him into our bed and he screamed and fought with me while I tried to wrestle him to lie down. Eventually I gave up as he was about to wake his sister up and brought him downstairs. He is now happy as anything, watching cbeebies on sky plus....monkey

Hope the weekend is bringing everyone more sleep

Erm..... Nope, no such luck!

I've just reported the post by dreambutterfly, looks like advertising. I doubt all the early risers have a tooth coming!

I'll join the 5am club though. 4 month old ds2 thinks 5am a great time to start the day. He very kindly goes to sleep in bed around 7pm for all of 2 hours. The rest of the night is spent feeding, dozing and fussing on me then he is up at 5.

Indith - I reported it when she posted it and mnhq looked into it and left it.

Every bloody morning for month's now and I effing hate it. DS is 2.4 and his behaviour is suffering because he's so tired (and so's mine to be quite honest). I have a newborn who sleeps brilliantly thank god, but these relentless early starts are killing me and putting a massive strain on my relationship (DH never helps, I resent him). I'm going to get a sleep consultant I can't cope with it anymore.

humph

but tis gone now

MN love me more than you

LaTristesse :(

Why does your dh not help?

We have the general rule of I do nights with baby and he gets up early (I don't hand the baby over at 5am I wait until 6).

Sympathy though, my 3 and a half year old is only just sort of sometimes starting to sleep on a semi regular basis maybe if I'm lucky. She doesn't surface for the day til 7ish though so I get about an hour undisturbed in the morning, works wonders!

Because he's useless, but that's a whole other thread.

If I thought it would sort itself out I'd just run with it, but hearing of people with school aged children who still wake so early is so demoralizing. I hate to think of DS being a disruptive pest at school just because he's tired.

However on the upside he does go down beautifully every night and sleeps through with no trouble (usually), it's just the early wake ups. Oh, and ridiculous daytime napping issues (again, another thread!)

Right. I'm off.

5.10am here withh 20 month old.

LaTristesse - god you have my sympathies. I have a 20 month old and if he wakes in the "5s" it's a good day. I keep assuming he will grow out of it. The worst thing is it really hinders my social life because I need to be in bed so early even on the weekends. I can handle it until he is 2 but then I really want it to stop. The sleep consultant sounds like a good idea.

the baby is all snot and snot filled gloopy vomit. Poor boy :(
