Bedtime??

Question

So I've been putting my LO down around 6-7pm sometimes like 7:30 and for a while she was sleeping great only waking up once for feeding but recently Shea been waking up from 3-5am and she'll just be up wide awake babbling laughing playing and we are so exhausted so I'm thinking if I keep her up until 9 or so she'll be more likely to sleep through the night. Either that or she is just going through a phase right now, any suggestions !??

Answer

I would wait and see if it's a phase. Because my son would do this for a week and go right back to sleeping through the night .. with my experience many times no matter when I put him to bed he would still wake the same times .. ex. Goes to bed at 9 everyday gets up at 3 am and again at 5( this is if he wakes up) on a different day say I put him to bed at 10/11  he will still get up at 3 then 5 .. but if I stick to getting him to bed at 9 he will start sleeping through the night on his own .. I think he has growth spurt when this happens

My son went through the same thing a month ago. He normally sleeps from 8:30pm-6:30am and started waking up at 3,4 &6. He did it for about two weeks and I was just exhausted. But I didn't change his routine. I had to re-train him to sleep. Babies have so much going on right now eating solids, rolling around and some teething. They tend to wake up more at night, so I just would check on him and give him binkie and he would go back to sleep again and again till 6 then feed him at his regular time and put him to bed at the same time every night. Finally a week ago he went back to his normal sleep schedule. He now wakes up at night but he puts himself back to sleep. I did notice that he is all over the crib at night. They are busy babies 😂

Answer

My son has been waking up like that anywhere from 4-7 in the morning. Sometimes he wakes up on time at 7ish. 6ish has become his new normal, which I can deal with. If he wakes up before that he won't go back to sleep until around 7. I put him to bed between 6 & 7. If he goes to bed later he's just crankier the next day from lack of sleep.
