How to get my baby to sleep in longer?

Question

How do I get my 6 1/2 month old to sleep in longer? She always wakes up around 5-6am sometimes even 4:30am but I will run in to put soother & that usually does the trick 
I wouldn’t mind 6am but 5am is soooo early! She used to sleep much longer until like 7am.
Her bedtime is 7:30-8:00pm
Help!

Answer

Thats actually pretty normal. Kids usually wake up between 5 am and 8 am. My nieces woke up at 6 am on the dot until they were 5 or 6. But my advice is to look at bedtime. Sometimes putting them to sleep earlier will help them sleep longer. Or if your baby already goes to sleep early, maybe a little later. But if some babies go to sleep later they wake earlier. Sometimes for my daughter I would just leave her in the crib for a bit if she wasnt upset and she would fall back to sleep. Giving your baby the pacifier may wake them more.

Answer

My son nursed at 4-4:30 for a long time and would always go back to sleep. It’s like he couldn’t make it 12 hrs without eating till he was much older.

Answer

Maybe she is hungry? Do you feed her or give her a bath beforehand?

Answer

Is she waking up crying or just playing in her cot? 
My daughter wakes around the same time, she will usually amuse herself and fall back to sleep until 7.30-8am if I leave her, if I go in and give her her dummy or just to check then that the start of the day.
