Baby Going To Bed Too Early

I rarely go to bed before midnight.

Baby going to bed too early. 4 months between 2 and 2. And you cant afford to let her lose too much sleep. Potential Reasons why Baby Wakes Up too Early Hunger.

Early morning waking is a common sleep problem for babies. A 6-month-old for example needs about 12 to 15 hours of sleep over 24 hours or about 10 to 12 hours at night and three to five hours during the day split into two or three naps. Because youll want your babys longest stretch of sleep at night ideally the stretch of sleep right after the bedtime feeding to coincide with your first stretch of nighttime sleep.

Also as an aside in my experience at about 6 months they start getting more driven by their body clock so like to nap and go to bed at the same time everyday so you might see a leaning towards that soon. As a rule of thumb if your child. It seems counterintuitive I know but its true keeping a baby or toddler up late usually will not lead to a later wake-up time in the morning.

In adults night-owl habits can actually lead. Bedtime is too earlytoo late. My babys daytime sleeps are sort of unpredictable and as a result she will sometimes wake up from a 2 hour sleep at 3pm.

If your baby is waking up too early she may be getting too much sleep so shes not tired or too little which means shes overtired. 0 to 2 months no later than 1 hour after their last nap ends. In an ideal world youd have the luxury of going to bed early and then waking up early all rested for a productive day ahead.

This does not mean that baby will be up at 400 in the morning. You have just lost an entire sleep period so baby will need to make up for this loss of sleep during the night. Also she is desperate to go to bed at about 6pm and we have to try and hold her off until 7 becasue it just seems so early for her to go to bed pus if im honest i worry she will wake at 5 or so but she really looks like she would like to go to bed earlier and im wondering if by the time we put her to bed at 7 she is overtired which might explain her restlessness.
