Hi,
My ds has got into a bad habit of early waking (about 5am, 5.30 if I'm lucky) everyday for the past month at least. I've tried treating the wake up as a normal night wake up (he wakes for a feed 2/3 times a night) but this doesn't work- he's either not interested or will feed a little but not go back to sleep.
He still cluster feeds in an evening from about 4-7pm when he will drop off and go till about 11-12pm (although that length seems to be reducing 
). When he is cluster feeding he drops off for about 20 mins at a time -presumably because he's so tired as he's been up for more than 12 hours..! He has naps during they day which range from 30 mins to 1 hour if in the sling but he never seems that refreshed. I always try and get him for a nap when I see his tired signals.
Does anyone have any advice on what I could do to help get him out of the early waking habit, they're slowly destroying me . Or is this a phase which will get better...
Sorry for the rambling!
