10 Month Old Waking up early and not wanting to go back to sleep

Laura

I really need help or advice. Our son will be 10 Months old this Sunday and since last weekend he has been waking up at 3 - 4 am wide awake and does not want to go back to sleep. I wake up to start getting ready for work at 5am everyday and before he used to wake up at 5 or 5 : 30 which was perfect. He is in our room as we live in a one bedroom flat and there is nowhere else to put him and we can't ignore his crying. I usually feed him at 5am so I haven't changed that routine but he still wakes up too early and more recently my husband has started getting up and sitting with him for an hour so that I can get some sleep before I need to get up. I suspect that this has now reinforced that it's okay to be up at this time. I appreciate that my hubby has done this and has compromised his sleep but I really want him to get out of the habit. DS has also recently started fearing bathing and screams every time we bath him. I don't know if this is linked to the early waking or not. Any advice would be most welcome. We haven't changed his routine at all, he goes to sleep at 8pm every night. Thank you
