My DS has been waking very early since just before Xmas. It's killing me as DH can't help as he has back issues so cannot reach into cot or lift him so it's always me, every morning between 5 and 6am. He doesn't seem ready to get up, more wanting attention from me. He sometimes will fall back to sleep if I take him to the spare room. i even tried leaving him to his own devices but he was upset for the best part of an hour so that did not work. I am beginning to wonder if our routine is all wrong? Is he in a bad habit and if so how do I break it? Is he teething - possible?? What do I do with him at 5am??
Hi routine is as follows,
Between 5-6am - wake and cry, Mummy comes in tucks in and leaves again. Repeats 2-3 times then gives in and takes me into spare room and we try to go back to sleep.
7.30am - get up and get breakfast
10am- go out for dog walk - DS in pram
11.45 - lunch
12.15 - 2.15 - nap
4.30 - dinner
7pm - bath, milk and bed for 7.30pm
