1 year old waking 5am
I have heard that this can be normal around this age...
fin has never been that good sleeper - and some nights i have to resettle a few times and also others he just wont and ends up in bed with us as im shattered and work part time.
BUT he seems to wake at 5am - he doesnt just winge he full pelt screams and cries until we go to him and then the only way to stop him is to get bottle then he wont go back in cot he comes in bed with us!
he will usually go back off but he kicks, wriggles has to be basically on top of me and so im awake from 5am getting very frustrated!
i have thought about controlled crying but we have neighbours and it must drive them mad! also i really dont think he would calm as he gets in such a state!
any ideas????

On another note could Lo be cold?? I've noticed if I bundle Gabe with blankets (once he is asleep as he kicks them off otherwise) on top of his grobag he sleeps MUCH better in fact he has slept 13 hours these past 3 nights! xxx
He does seem right as rain as soon as he's had his bottle but then he's so tired again by 8!!
Hope you make some progress with Fin- it's no fun still losing out on sleep.
Also Henry is def not cold as this house is much warmer than where we were and he has a 2.5 tog grobag. Also has 2 blankets and a pillow. He has a quilt in the day and is getting better at not kicking it off!! xx

he naps usually in the morning - although over xmas he hasnt as daddies been playing with him all morning! then he has a sleep about 2.30!
his room is about 20 and he's in 2.5 tog sleeping bag so dont think hes cold...
em&hen - you sound like us... we too try that shutting door and he roams the room for while until his winging gets too much to bear!!!
