So, at 7 months DS is finally STTN. But...

... now he is consistently waking up for the day around 5:30 AM!!!! How do we get him to sleep later... just a little bit later??

Two weeks ago we dropped his night feeding and after a few nights, he started sleeping through it. Great! But now he is waking up every morning between 5-5:30... WIDE AWAKE and looking to eat. How can we get him to sleep a little later??? I see so many posts on here from ladies whose DCs sleep 12 hours a night. Any tips/tricks for getting those extra 2 hours? I'd even take 1 extra hour... I can handle 6:30, but 5:30?? Mama needs her sleep!! Help!!!

Re: So, at 7 months DS is finally STTN. But...

What time do he go to bed?

Do you give him just a bottle right before or solids and a bottle?

We give DS his last bottle at 7:30 and oatmeal, fills the belly and he gets up at 7-7:30.

It's worth a try

I nurse him at 7 PM and he is asleep in his crib by 7:30-7:45. The last solid he has is a veggie, usually around 4-5 PM. Maybe I'll try giving him a little cereal too, right before I nurse him. Thanks!

DS does the same thing. we usually put him down around 8:30. DH feeds him at 10pm and put him back to sleep. DS then sleeps until 4am, when he wakes up. All i do is go in there, give him his pacifier, turn on the soother and he goes right back to sleep. He then gets fed at 6am and sleep until 9 after that.

not sure if that would work for you but worth a shot!
