12 week old early riser

Just wondering if anyone has any tips/advice on how to get an early riser to sleep a little bit later in the morning. Dd is 12 weeks and wakes between half 5 and 6 in the morning. Bedtime is around half 7. SHe sleeps through the night and has done since around 9 weeks. I don't think it's hunger waking her as she wakes up happy and cooing. Tried dream feeds but it didn't make a difference and she already has a lot of milk in the day (7oz 6 times)

I do appreciate I should be grateful she sleeps through to 6 as it could be a lot worse so I'm not complaining just wondering if I could try something different to maybe get her to sleep until 7am Smile

Yes. Yes you do need to be more grateful.

From,
Mum of a 6 month old who has woken at least 3 times every night (not including the twice between 7pm and 11pm) since he was born and wakes at 5am ready for the day.

Mine used to sleep till noon.

She didn’t go to sleep till about midnight.

You can’t have it both ways.

Nothing you can do. My dd did this until 18 months. Sometimes it was 4:30! Invest in a kindle or some kind of mindless game that can occupy you during the wee hours.

She goes to bed early and sleeps all night.

You could try moving her bedtime and day time routine all an hour later.
