Morning wake-up time???

Abby - posted on 02/18/2011

one thought for you. if you know that your child will (and usually) sleeps until 7am, make that wake up time. If she wakes up before that, go into her room, tell her it isn't time to wake up yet, tuck her back in and go back to bed. I did that with mine, and eventually they learned to sleep the whole time.

Melissa my 15 month old is the same. She was in a great routine until about a month ago. She goes to bed between 6.30 - 7.30 and wakes anywhere now from 5-8. She used to wake at 7. It doesn't matter if I put her down later either, she still wakes up before 8.

my 18 month old Daughter goes to bed at 9-930 at night, wakes up around 845-9 in the morning, takes a nap around 1 and sleeps to 230-3.

My son is 4 months, so big difference in their ages, but he wakes up sporadically too. Sometimes it's 6:30ish (which mommy does not like) and other times it's after 8. He goes to be around 8:30.

Thanks all! I am glad I am not they only one.

Side Note: No matter what time she goes to bed, 7,8 or 9 she still is all over the map with wake-up time. That is why it is crucial for her to be in bed by 7:15 latest.

If she goes to bed early she sleeps longer. I realised that if my baby goes to bed by 9 she wakes up at 9 am though i'll have to feed her around 5am but when she goes to bed at 10 or later she will be up several times in the night and by 7am in the morning she's ready to play and start her day

Our little man is out cold by 7pm everynight....goes into bed 630-640pm, and is asleep by 7 at the latest. Then he wakes anywhere between 5 and 630am. No matter what, there is no pattern to his wake up times. His daytime naps are very routine, if he's 15mins late for one he's seriously upset, so we don't move them at all. He's 15mths.
On the odd occassion, maybe once a month, he'll sleep until 7am and I'll be checking him 100 times in the morning just to make sure he's ok :-)

Yes! My 1 year old will some days wake up at 5AM and I chuck a sippy of milk in his cot and he goes back to sleep until 8 and other days he'll sleep right through until 7 and get up and have breakfast as normal.

My 8m old does that as well! A few months ago, maybe when he was about 6ms old he sometimes slept until 10a! Which scared me, I was checking on him like every 15-30mins.
Just let her sleep as much as she wants. That is when babies grow and it will give you a bit more time to get rest of get somethings done around the house.

My baby is 9 months old and just recently started sleeping till 7am. She goes to bed at 7 pm. Before that she was waking at 6-630. I noticed if she doesn't nap well the day before she wakes earlier.

Oh okay, I see...my daughter goes to sleep at 10pm and then she will sleep until like 8am or 9am,Im not sure how different it is for a 15 month old,cause my daughter will wake up maybe like once after I put her down to sleep cause shes hungry and when shes done goes right back to sleep.
