Early Waking

Anyone got any tips on how to make your
child sleep in later in the mornings? My
son is 19 months old and wakes me up at
4:45am every day! Until a few weeks ago
he was sleeping from 7pm til 7am and it
was brilliant but for some reason he's now
waking earlier and he's knackered and
miserable and so am i!
I've tried giving him extra food in the
evening in case he's waking up hungry and
i've also tried limiting his nap in the
day to only about 45 mins (he would do 2
hours if allowed!) but to no avail!
Any suggestions? Right now, I could go
shopping with the bags under my eyes

Omg 4:45am thats way too early yuck lol
um I dunno if you do this already but cos
hes in nappies still right? You could go
in his room before you go to bed at like
11pm ish? And put a clean one on him, cos
he might be waking up early too wet and
uncomfortable to get back to sleep in that
old nappy. Plus it can make them cold
aswell and its hard to sleep if you're
cold.
If you already do that...I guess try
cutting out his sleep in the daytime
completely, but he'll probably be bad
tempered the rest of the day...Or bring it
forward so he naps earlier, then he's got
longer to get tired before bedtime at
night?
Its weird hes suddenly doing this when he
used to sleep 7-7, is there anything that
could be waking him up noise wise?

God I am having a similar problem. Logan
woke up at 5.30 this morning. It doesn't
help that the clocks have gone back for an
hour cause now he's all confused 
It may sound cruel but don't let him go to
bed til later. Whatever time he usually
goes to bed- make him wait another 2
hours. He will hopefully then be tired
enough to sleep in a bit longer.

Aly's sleeping is out of whack too. I
think she might be a light sleeper like
me, because when she wakes up in the
middle of the night for a feeding, she
stays awake after, which means *.I* stay
awake. And once .I'm awake, .I'm awake
for hours.
Every night for the past few nights, .I've
woken up at 4am or so, and have finally
gone back to sleep around 10am.
Tonight she did it at just past midnight.
I'm so flipping tired...

Eeekkk!! Oh man ladies...I'm sooo sorry
yall are going through this!! I know how
bad it sucks to be deprived of sleep!!!!
You find yourself doing things totally
backwards!! Haha!
But, I don't know what the problem could
be!! 
all I can suggest is *sleep when they
sleep*....If they nap at 2 in the evening
and you're dying of lack of sleep...Knock
out with em! I swore by that when .Oni
was born!!
She's been sleeping through the night
since 5 weeks, but the other night we
decided to put her in *our* bed because
she was sick. *big* mistake!! She woke
up at 5, and was just playing away!! So I
took my hair out of my pony and let her
pull/play with it! Of course, I slept
through it, but my man wasn't havin it!!
Hahaha...He was like, man I was up all
night with her!! 
man, I hope this passes for yall!!! Good
.Luck!!

Wow!!!!!!!!!!! I am so sorry for you
guys.....Melia goes to sleep at 10.00 and
wakes at about 2 because she is
hungry....We feed and go back to sleep
until 7. I get her up at 7 to get her
ready for work, but on the weekends if I
feed her at 7 she will go back to sleep
til like 9 or 10. Then we go down for a
2 o-clock nap. It's great. A nap on
sunday before work the next day is the
best.
I am so happy that I have a good
sleeper....For now anyway...(just knocked
on wood....I think it's really partical
board but it all comes from trees right?)

Don't get me wrong logan usually sleeps
fine. They usually both sleep from 8 til
8 but I found out what it is- he has a
sore bum! I changed his nappy like I
always do and his nappy was almost dry
when I changed it this morning so it must
be his teeth or something.. Poor darling

baby!!

Lol....I'm glad you know it'll change.
I dislike those mothers who are in *total*
denial about their baba's!!
Oni is cutting her top teeth, and it's
heeellllll!!!
But it's cool. She's still as sweet as
can be before bedtime!!

I'm right there with out on that. I
wouldnt trade 10 million dollars for that
moment when you're up at 3.30 tired,
stressed, and have to pee and your baba
looks up and cracks the biggest grin
you've ever seen.....
