Bad habit?

Robyn

Hi ladies,

Wondering if I could seek your advice/opinion on whether or not what I'm doing is a bad habit.

Long story short, I've been tracking my son's sleeping schedule since he was born. From about 2 months, he's been STTN for exactly 10 hours everynight on the dot (with a few middle of the night wakings here and there). We used to put him to bed around 9-10pm and would sleep until 7am. I recently changed his bedtime to 7-8pm but now he is waking at 5:30-6am on the dot. I'm NOT complaining at all, please no judgement. I do not take it for granted that he STTN.

My question is, since he has been waking up earlier than he use to, once he wakes, I lay down in bed with him (he sleeps in his crib next to our bed) and I nurse him in the laying down position. This allows me to get another hour of sleep until we get up for the day and catch some snuggles!

Is this a bad habit? Or do other mamas do this to catch a couple more minutes of rest?
