DD is 12 weeks old and EBF. 2 months ago she was waking up at 7, since then it has been creeping up earlier and earlier. 2 weeks ago it was 6 or just before, now since the clocks went back it is 4.30. Today she woke at 4.40, fed, and was wide awake in my bed until 6 when she dropped off for 30 mins or so. Other days she was just up full stop and then hysterical with tiredness around 7. I understand that if her morning nap is too early it will reinforce the early waking but how can I keep a 12 week old up any longer than 2-2.5 hours? How do I fix this? She still feeds in the night, it used to be after 4 hours of going down, then after another 3. For the past week it seems to be every 2 hours.

I can live with 6am starts, 4.30 will break me :(
Btw, she is not cold, and there are no external factors (noises etc) that wake her. She was doing it at my parents house last week and now again back at home.

Please help.
