At a year old, Lauren is definately able to physically sleep at least ten to twleve hours straight.<BR/>2. Recently, while training Zoe to sleep, I noticed she too woke in the early AM hours. 5 AM is too early for me! I prefer 7, so that I can be somewhat awake for her when she rises to eat. So, after putting her to bed around 7:30-8 PM, I then wake her again around 10-11PM to eat one last time. This carries her through the night. She normally wakes up at 7:30ish.<BR/>3. If she wakes too early in the morning I do let her cry (granted there is nothing wrong with her. ie. teething, sickness, dirty diaper.)<BR/>4. After a couple of early mornings letting her cry, she'll learn that Mom or Dad is NOT coming to see her this early. I know some Moms HATE the thought of letting baby cry. If this is you, then certainly don't try this.<BR/>5. I personally allow my babies to cry when going to sleep. I have found that this establishes healthy sleep patterns for them, and reaffirms my role as the parent. Guiding and training my children to sleep and not expect their every need/want to be met on their demand, helps me retain authority as Mommy. <BR/>6.

I'm always up for new/effective parentning solutions!<BR/><BR/>Love,<BR/>Sarah D.Sarah D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02106494051284187499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4105779366644843876.post-49220789031525525522008-04-10T22:43:00.000-04:002008-04-10T22:43:00.000-04:00I remember those seasons-actually, they were just ...I remember those seasons-actually, they were just a blur! :-) I agree with Darlene, I think it's just a season that she will outgrow. I recall one of the boys doing the same thing. I tried everything and then one day he just started sleeping in. So, although I don't have any great suggestions, I can say that I will pray for God's grace and strength to be your portion! <BR/>Love you!<BR/>JudeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4105779366644843876.post-33374639513121956252008-04-10T15:23:00.000-04:002008-04-10T15:23:00.000-04:00All I can honestly suggest is waiting for her to o...All I can honestly suggest is waiting for her to outgrow it a bit.

Ridiculously early rising has always been my signal to cut back on napping. But since Lauren's already a year old, she probably isn't taking a morning nap anyway, so it doesn't seem like that would work. I don't know!?!?! Hope you figure something out, though, because 4:30 is ear-<I>ly</I>!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4105779366644843876.post-36494597570639174652008-04-10T11:31:00.000-04:002008-04-10T11:31:00.000-04:00Have you tried white noise?

I have one who sometimes rises far too early for the rest of the house to put up with(5:30), her typical is 6:30 - 7 is rare and like a glimpse of heaven (I too just can't deal with earlier than 7 am, weird.)Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18101166328434220991noreply@blogger.com
