Dear fellow mums, my little boy is 5.5 months old, bottle fed and generally a good sleeper as he sleeps on his own at 7:30pm every day (no dream feed). However i dont know what to do to make him sleep past 5:30am - he wakes up happily talking to himself but then within 10mins becomes grumpy and wont calm down unless i feed him. It is then quite hard to put him back to sleep, usually not before 6:30-7am...
I am EXHAUSTED, how can i make him sleep until at least 6:30am please? He is a quite big boy weighing already 8.5kg so i am wondering whether it is genuine hunger that wales him up? Should i give him some baby rice before bedtime to help him feel fuller?
During the day he goes falls asleep for his naps very easily at 9am, 12pm and 4pm.
Morning and afternoon nap are 45min and unfortunately also at lunchtime he wakes up still tired after 45mins and i have to rock him back to sleep to complete the 2h nap.
Is this too much? Too little? I have tried removing the afternoon nap but it was impossible to keep him awake all the way through to bed time.
Any advice will be most welcomed. Thank u so much!
