Getting DC to sleep later?
Is there anything you can do? DS was doing 7pm to 7am since 10wks and has progressively gotten earlier and earlier and has settled in on 7pm to 5am  He's 5 mos.

No advice, just  Maybe move his bedtime back to 8 or 9? I'm still trying to get dd to sleep longer than 6 hours straight. She's 4 1/2 months.

Re: Getting DC to sleep later?
I would definitely keep the bed time the same as it is now. Making the bed time later will not make him sleep later. Does he cry for a bottle at 5am? If he cries for a bottle I would give him a bottle and then put him right back to sleep. If he is not crying for a bottle I would see if you leave him a bit if he falls back to sleep. Also I agree what a pp said about going in the room a little later each day.

ITA with all of this. You would think the later bedtime makes sense, but it always backfires!

Yeah and I thought daylight savings would solve ALL my problems. I wish...
We don't go in to get him until 6am but we've been doing that for at least a month now and he's still getting up that early
