Any body else with a 7 month old that wakes at 430 am?

[Skadiver13]

It's funny the whole developmental thing. Jsut yesterday on a different post I mentioned how I still swaddle my LO because he's not rolling back to front. Wouldn't you konw, that night early morning I wake up to him making noise, look at the monitor and he's on his side trying to scissor kick his way on to his stomach. Needless to say we're weaning him from his swaddle now. The other day he ended up waking at 5am so I pushed his nap to 9. I apop'd the whole nap as he woke up after 30 min of being OT but he ended up waking at 6:15 this morning so maybe it worked? Still getting 1hr 20min naps but not sure I can push the A time out past 3hrs.

Our Ew disappeared for pretty much good when we hit the 2-1 hang in there ladies.
Skadiver great to hear your LO is rolling - good luck weaning the swaddle and on the later WU

My husband wants to push her bed time.  But she is tired at 7 (I mean she has been up since 430). Do you think later bedtime would be something I should look at?

You might actually be better off shifting her bedtime earlier so her day isn't so long and that might help with the overtiredness. If you put her down for the night at 6 instead of 7, she might wake at 3/3:30 and that's definitely still night time - you should be able to get her back to sleep somehow - APOP encouraged

Agree with bec, early bed sometimes means longer night same WU but LO is more rested for A extension the next morning too. Sometimes EBT even means later WU - I know crazy!

What kind of age is this? Is this about a year old?! Arggghh!!!

Good news ladies, I pushed back LO first nap until 9 am and then last night she slept until 440am.  This is the best bit though, we managed to put her back down and she slept until almost 7.  Can I tell you i'm a new woman.  The only problem is when we tried to put her down for her first nap of the day at 10 am, she fought it until 11.  Sigh...I guess not everything can be perfect

[ZacsMumme]

Lol yes usually 1 but everyone I know with an Ew 6 mth old with high ish A times were in the 2-1 process by 10 mths
It's not consistent either, the EW come and go sometimes.
Cdore great sleep in!

[Jaxsta81]

Well done cdore-what time did your LO wake up for the 9am nap time?

[Skadiver13]

My LO is Highesh A times and was on 3-2 at 5 months. He's on 2 now just a week before he turns 6 months.

[cdore]

Jaxsta81, she slept until 1030.  She's good at taking 1 1/2 hr naps.  She just is really, really, really excited to start her day.  Tonight we fly down south for a week so that's going to affect the progress that we made but i think I have more tools now to deal with the early wakings (and the sun will help).  I would like to know how everyone else is doing

[cdore]

So we're back from our trip and my daughter is still getting up early (although now she wakes at 445am).  Sigh!  Trying to get back into a routine.  Quest for everyone else having this issue:  do you bottle/breastfeed before bed for the night?

[Skadiver13]

Yes I do. He gets 4 bottles during the day and one at night. 30min after he wakes up for the morning, after each 1.5hr nap and right before bed. That means there is only about 2.5hrs between the last 2 bottles but most times he downs a full bottle before bed anyway. He wakes up once at night to eat and then he wakes sometime around 5. Sometimes he gets himself back to sleep till 6 (we do a 6-6 his internal clock dictates that) and sometimes not but I know it's not Hunger. Are you not feeding before bed? Do you do a Dreamfeed? Sorry can't remember.

[cdore]

Yes I feed before bed and do a dream feed and she still eats bw 2-3 in the morning.  And then we're up for the day at 445.  BAHHHHHHHH! 

[ZacsMumme]

Have any of you tried W2S on the EW?

[Charjanemom]

I did it for 4 days but was also increasing A time so not sure which worked. We were getting 530 wake ups and they aren't happening as often. The odd 550 one.
