I need some help. My baby wakes up now at 5am, coo's sometimes for an hour then starts to cry OR wakes at 5am and cries. She will either be crying because she doesn't want to be in crib anymore and is wide awake, in that case she will play with toys easily, or if I put her in front of toys and she is ccrying histarically for food I will feed her.. I will go down when she cries. I shush/pat for 20min, doesn't work she gets more irritated and is wide awake. I change diaper and try shush/pat again, doesn't work.
Like this morning woke at 5am, went down at 6am, changed diaper, put in her vibrating chair to play with toys, she didn't cry, I fell asleep on couch. She started to cry at 7:45am for food. Fed her...then she was really tired, of course, but tried to keep her up as her nap is at 10am, didn't work, she fell asleep at 9:15pm, so I let her sleep to 11:15pm then woke her up myself so no more than a 2 hour nap, let her play, fed at 12pm, and rest of the day is fine. Why oh why does she keep waking up so early? The sun doesn't even start to come up until 6am, but she's wide awake at 5am. Here is my scchedule:: I know I posted something similar to this couple weeks ago, but since no one really knew I am posting again, but with more details and with some hope someone will know what to do.... I am so tired.
