Scheduled Wake time?

Question

Would you all say it's worth it to try and set a wake-up time if baby consistently wakes up an hour prior to your desired wake time? Any tips on how to push their wake time to match what you'd like (ex: 7-7:30 instead of 6-6:30)

Answer

Depends on how old baby is. For a toddler you could try an okay to wake clock. For babies there’s not much you can do other than adjust your own expectations of when to wake up. They won’t always be early risers. You can try to play with making small adjustments to hopefully get a later wake time, try to shoot for 6:45 wake up for a while, then gradually try to shoot for 7:00 wake up.

Answer

Depending on baby’s age, look at how much total sleep they are getting in a day. My 8 mo only needs/consistently sleeps 10.5-11 hours at night and about 2.5-3 hrs in naps so we had to push his bedtime later slowly so his wake up time would be what we wanted which is 6:30 (have to leave house by 7 for daycare/work). We were putting him to bed at 6:30 and he was up at 5 or 5:30 every morning but since shifting nap and moving bedtime to 7:30-8 he’s now better at sleeping until our desired time
