Twins wake at 5am

[Vickyvon]

Hi all.
Our twins wake at 5am ! They are 20 months and we have tried everything recommended We have 2 other children and never had this before
Any tips, suggestions, help ?!.

Mine all went through that phase. One still is. Nothing worked for us. No groclock or anything. Just time and getting older. Mine was 4:15 most mornings. About 3yo they get better.

Go with it, go to bed earlier yourself and start your day then. It will pass.

My 9 week old twins wake at 5am too but it's a god send as I have to be up at 6am anyway to get older child ready for childminder so need the extra hour to feed the twins! 🤣

I have 2 year old twins and 5.30 for one of them seems to have been the norm for quite a few weeks. Sometimes she’ll lay there talking to herself until about 6ish other times she cries straight away. Nothing seems to work, we’re just grateful she’s sleeping from 6.45pm without waking 😂

Not very helpful I’m sorry but I’m hoping it will pass in time

Yep, remember that. The time just moves on and it'll change. I'm sure I tried everything but in the meantime the children just got older and slept better and longer. Feels like it'll go on forever at the time though.

Thank you. Fingers crossed !!

I had seen a post about waking them an hour before thwy wake and they fall back to sleep longer. I shall research it !

toomuchfaster - I cant 'go with it' I go to bed at 8.30 with my 10 year old, and my my other child wakes me at night so I was seeking advice as I desperately need to crack this

@Vickyvon

What time do you want them to wake?

I feel for you. DS would be awake at 5am for the day. The only thing that helped for him was the hour change as 5am will soon be 6am.

DD was a bit easier and would go back down if I gave her some milk and a book to look at.

The No Cry Sleep Solution for Toddlers & Preschoolers should help too

Mine are 4 and 6 and still wake at 5 - I think it's quite common, as they sleep a big chunk at night!
