Hi ladies!
Our sleep has been all over the place the past couple weeks, with the major problem being that my 8.5 mo wakes between 5-6am. We've been trying to hold off on feeding her, but she usually gets worked up so we go ahead and feed her. Most of the time, she ends up being awake about an hour and then goes back to sleep for an hour before starting the day (occasionally she won't go back to sleep).
My theory is that she is waking just because she is accustomed to eating at that time but because she's had a lot of night sleep, she has trouble going back to sleep. Does that make sense?
Any advice on how to get her to sleep through?
Here are our schedules from the past few days:
