My DS (4months and 1 week old) all of a sudden is waking earlier than normal. At 9 weeks old, he started sleeping from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. without ANY feedings or wakings. Now for the past few days, he's waking at 6:30 a.m. He plays for awhile, and then starts whining. This morning I left him (not crying) and he wouldn't go back to sleep so I finally got him at 7:45. Yesterday I got him at 6:30 and fed him which threw off our entire routine. This is his routine
8:00 a.m. (wake though the past few mornings 6:30)
10-11 nap
12:00 p.m. eat
1-4:00 nap
4:00 eat
5:30-6:15 nap
7:30 eat
8:00 bedtime
He currently drinks about 36 ounces a day. My ped told me that once he starts waking early to start cereal, which I plan on starting tomorrow. Do you think he's waking because he's hungrier than normal? Also normally I have to wake him from his morning nap (to keep his 1:00 nap to coincide with his sister) but today he only slept 45 mins. I put him in for his afternoon nap 2 hours later, and again another 45 mins. Though right now he's on/off sleeping it seems. Do you think he possibly is ready to give up his third nap?
?? I put him in at 5:30 and then he talks and plays and normally falls asleep closer to 5:45 so really only sleeps 30 mins there, but I wake him to preserve bedtime.
Suggestions?
