She is waking at 5am every day crying - sometimes I feed her then and sometimes not, but either way she won't go back to sleep. She then seems quite happy and awake for the day but if we try to leave her so we can go back to bed she cries.
She's then awake till about 11am when she'll sleep for half an hour.
She'll sleep again for half an hour at some point during the afernoon, and then goes to bed at 7pm.
I think we need to try to get her to sleep more in the day so she could maybe stay up for a bit longer in the evening so she'll sleep in later in the morning, but short of putting her in the car and driving for two hours every day I can't seem to get her to stay asleep! Its as though she doesn't really need any more more sleep, she's very happy and active when she's awake.
She is on solid food now, we're doing BLW and she seems to be eating quite a bit now, she's cut back herself on her milk feeds a bit. So I don't think its hunger, because she's the same at 5am whether I fed her or not, its as though she thinks its morning and just wants company.
We've tried bringing her into our bed but she just chats to herself and wriggles and kicks so we don't get any more rest and she is still awake!
Even if we could just get her to sleep till 6am it would be great!
