My daughter is 9 months old next week. She has started to wake earlier since the days got lighter earlier (althought her room is fairly dark), she was waking around 6.15am but now it can be from 5.30 and she is wide awake. She has been crawling for a few months now so when i go into her room she is standing up in her cot (in her sleeping bag) - am I best to leave her until after 6am? Lately I have brought her into my bed, sometimes she sleeps and others she will just lie there - am I best to leave her be and ignore her even though she cries/screams? The other problem I am having is that her day sleeps are often inconsistant. Sometimes she will wake after the 45 minutes and be standing up in her cot (and there is NO chance of getting her back to sleep) - so If she has woken at 5.30am and is back down at 9am - she will wake around 9.45 am so I'm not sure what to do then re an afternoon sleep and bedtime. Can anyone offer some advice?
Thanks
