Tell me your success stories about wake to sleep

[janx]

Ds is 13 months and we have tried everything to get past that 4.30/5am waking. For a brief period he slept until 6 - but has gone back to early rising. I am back at work now and cannot function getting up so early. I have heard about wake to sleep but need to hear it works - thanks

Have you tired popping him in with you?
My DS also needed a bottle of milk around then for a few weeks. Then he would settle into our bed until 6.30 ish. We also introduced a milktime snack for a while incase it was hunger. And also I found milk puddings for dinner dessert good - eg semolina or rice pudding (can be made with no, or very little sugar too) AND he loved them and it seemed to help with filling him up. Can give recipes if you like.

I have tried everything - am trying to wean him off night feeding, plus we have had to bring dd into our room as they wake each other up...he is a light sleeper. He eats like a horse, so can't believe he is hungry...I do love a rice pudding - maybe I will have some

Anyone else?

I remember that DS started waking again just after MMR. In the end I had a matress by his bed which I used when/if he woke so that DH could get some sleep too. He because a thrasher at night for a while too, so co-sleeping wasnt as much fun as before! I'm sure it was growing / teeth.

Perhaps you could get a matress and jump into it at 5 with DS? You might get a couple more hours and still not disturb DH/DD?
