getting baby to sleep later?

Question

My little one is 8 months old. She has always been an early riser. Like 4am...4:30 on a good day. Any suggestions on how to get her to sleep longer? We tried keeping her up later. Didn't work at all. Goes down 7-7:30.

Answer

Try keeping her up until 8:00 for a few days. Then until 8:30, try to push her bedtime a little later but slowly and gradually. My baby sleeps from 9:30pm until 8/8:30am

Answer

It seems counter intuitive, but try moving bedtime earlier. That can sometimes help babies sleep later in the morning. (The book Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child has some good tips about this sort of thing)

Answer

Sounds like it would work the opposite but try putting her down earlier for the night like 6-6:30. When my LO was waking very early it was due to bedtime being too late.
