In fact, all you end up doing, then, is creating a huge amount of over-tiredness in your child, which leads to more fragmented sleep and even earlier morning wake ups. You think, “Oh, if we just keep him up late, he’ll sleep later in the morning.” That hardly ever works.

That is super tempting when you’ve got an early riser. I always suggest that people do not change bedtime too much.

Hang in there until the first nap of the day. That’s what’s happening here, most likely. It’s similar to if you got up at 04:00 AM, wandered around, maybe had a snack, and then eventually went back to bed and finished your night. My advice would be to give him a bit of fresh air around eight o’clock, make sure that you give him enough snacks and food to keep his energy levels up, to really encourage him to hang in there. If it’s 09:30 AM, even if he’s been up since 04:30, you’ve got to hang in there until 09:30. You’ll have to have a third nap, which will be completely foreign to him, and it’ll just cause a whole bunch of problems.Įven though it’s really tough, and I totally understand that, you’ve got to hang on to his normal nap time. That will just absolutely mess up with his body clock. If you do that, you will get stuck in this viscous cycle of him waking up too early, going down for a nap at 7:00 AM, and throwing off your whole day. It’s tempting to start putting him down earlier and earlier and earlier for that morning nap. I find that what can happen is, if a baby wakes up too early in the morning, gets up, starts his day, he’s going to be fatigued fairly quickly. You’ve mentioned in your question that he’s having a really hard time making it till his first nap of the day.

At this age 2-4 full milk feeds in the daytime along with 3 solid meals is about right. And to consider that, you will want to look at the daytime feeds and how much opportunity for full feeds there are in the daytime. I want you to consider dropping that feed or offering a dream feed earlier for example 2 a.m. Tip number two, the nursing at 4:00 AM could be part of the issue, My experience with this at this age is that, the 4:00 AM feed might actually get earlier and earlier and earlier, instead of buying you more time, because to the baby, there’s no difference between a 2:00 AM feed and a 4:00 AM feed. I want it to be as dark as it would be if you walked in, in the very middle of the night. As an adult, you can look at the clock and notice that it’s not time to get up, yet. People often think that they’ve got it dark enough, but it can always be darker, because even the slightest change in light variation can stimulate a wake up in anybody. That’s always the first place I look, especially, as the summer months are upon us, we really need to keep light out. The first would be to have a look at darkness. I got three tips around that for you, Claire This is the number one question that I get from parents every day, their baby’s waking up too early. and actually get out of bed when you're supposed to.First of all, Claire, you are not alone in this. Instead of starting your day off feeling stressed out and anxious about being late, use the below hacks to start on a more peaceful and positive note. Waking up earlier and having a less rushed morning can make your whole day more enjoyable and productive. If you have a long commute, you have to be up even earlier than that! You've probably found that hitting the snooze button multiple times before springing into action at the very last minute isn't working for you, and you're right. (unless you live down the block from your job and can get ready super fast). each day, then you are probably desperately looking for some hacks to make waking up a little easier.Īfter all, if you have to be at work by 7 a.m., that means you have to be out of bed by at least 6 a.m. If you're one of these people, and you have to be at work by 7 a.m.

But there are a lot of people who are the opposite, and find waking up at the crack of dawn to be miserable, no matter how many often they have to do it. They enjoy waking up early, they love to get a head-start on their day while everyone else is sleeping in as much as possible, and they're always ready to greet you with a cheerful 'good morning!' while you're still trying to muster up the energy to sip your coffee. There are plenty of morning people out there.
