7 months wakes at 4/5am the goes back till 7

[DaddyPig2018]

Hi all, I'm a dad of a 7 month old and me and my wife bottle feed our son. He is fed before bedtime at 7pm sometimes dream fed at 10pm. The aim is for him to sleep through till 7am but he always wakes around 4 or 5 am for one of us to then get him back to sleep, sometimes we feed him a bottle.
Does anyone have any advice to stop this and for us to get our son to sleep all the way through?

He is on solid now, sometimes doesn't always eat his blended food though.

Thank you
John

Tbh that's fantastic sleep for his age. My 19mo wakes in the night around midnight then starts his sat at 5am.

I'd just be grateful he goes back to sleep! My son still wakes between 5.30-6am and he's 4! Sorry that's not what you asked though!

They all do that
Just be patient!

I’d be grateful he went back to sleep too! My second woke for the day at 5.30 until she was 18 months old! Woke st leafy once s night until she was about 10 months old - and she was a pretty good sleeper compared to my first!

Just wait until he's older?

Hi all thank you for your replies,

I have been informed by my wife, or shall I say corrected, that our son actually doesn't always go back to sleep so wakes around 4 or 5 and often doesn't go back to bed, just stirs.

He is put to bed at 7pm the night before.

Your advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
John

My 21 month old still wakes at that time, sometimes for the day and sometimes back to sleep. All 3 of mine have done it on and off until about their 2nd birthday.

Sleeping through at 7months from 10pm to 4 or 5am is brilliant sleep for his age. Be thankful for how good you have it!

Again, normal. They’re only little.

Just takeit in turns doing the 4am shift.

Agree with all, that's an excellent sleep pattern for his age whether he gets up at 5.00 or not

Normal I'm afraid. At 7 months DD2 was still waking every 3 hours.
7pm to 4-5am is very good for a 7 month old! I don't think any of mine achieved that until they were about 2!

I'd give an arm for sleep like that!

That's loads of sleep! My 16 month old doesn't sleep that well yet. Early mornings are very normal. Don't worry about it.

Exactly the same with ours. She didn't sleep through until about 1 year old but now sleeps 7-630 most days :)

Another vote to say that's really good. Your baby is sleeping through. I think at that age, mine was still having feeds at around 11pm and 3am.

We just treat anything before about 6am as a night feed and he generally goes back down

Doing great. We only got ds sleeping 7-6 at around 9 months ish maybe slightly later and it was all him!

Thats amazing sleep for the average 7 month old. I think you should just keep doing what you're doing.

DS was around the same at that age. He's now 2 and regularly wakes up at 6 now, despite going to bed at 9pm! He wakes up happy so I know he's getting enough sleep.

My husband was the same though. Looking for answers to stop the 4am wake up. Got to just ride it out!

Wow, great sleep for a 7 month old! DD2 got up at 5am every single day until she dropped her nap completely at 20 months.
7-7 with 1-2 wake ups is great.

Just treat it like a night waking and keep resettling. That's sometimes harder work then getting up though.

There is no secret answer you just have to ride it out I'm afraid. Treat anything before 6am as a night waking and keep going , they get it eventually. It's amazing sleep for such a young baby.

Does he still sleep in with or or have his own room now? If the latter, when did you move him?

Thank you for all your help, feel more at ease now.
Our son now sleeps in his own room and has for the last 4 weeks. 👍

That's his morning unfortunately. Hopefully, he'll grow out of it. to keep you awake!

DD2 was a freak baby and slept through from the day before she was 6 months! She hadn't even started solids! I have 3 other DC who made up for it though!

Thank you all
