Hi all,
My dd has just turned 12 months old. She's never been the best sleeper but we have recently used walk in walk out to get her night feelings from three hourly to one feeding a night. However, she used to come into bed with me around 5.30am every morning and no matter what she still wakes at this time and cries until we get her up. This morning it was 5am. We do walk in walk out until 6am, at which time we get her up for the day. However we have been doing this almost a week and she continues to wake and will not return to sleep which puts her whole day out. She's never ever slept much in the day which means she has an early bedtime. No matter what I can't get her to sleep more in the day. I suspect the early bedtime could be the cause of the early wake ups but I'm not sure what to do as she gets so over tired by then.
Any ideas would be appreciated!
Our day
Wake up between 5 and 5.30 (stays in cot until 6)
9 nap (30 minutes, never ever can I get her to sleep longer)
1pm sleep (1 - 1.5 hours, usually with several wake ups where I have to resettle her)
6/6.15 bedtime
2am night feed
She falls asleep by herself now
