Baby Waking At 4.00 Every Morning...help
Hi all, my little grandson is 9 months old and mum is having an awful time during the morning, she is so tired I hoped someone on here might have some advice. After a couple of weeks controlled crying he now goes to bed awake and happy, he has never been the best sleeper and has two or three half hour sleeps during the day and always awake by 4.00 a.m., I have suggested as long as he isnt hungry and is dry she tries to leave him so he has another hour or two but that isn't working, does anyone else have any suggestions?

Try keeping him awake more in the evenings & put him to bed a bit later, he'll be grumpy but it should break the pattern.
7pm to 4am is 9 hours ! how long do you expect a 9 month old baby to sleep for at a time?
We had 5 kids and now we have 12 grandchildren we would have been happy to get 9 hours rest a night. Either get your daughter to go to bed earlier or put the baby to bed later. I would gradually change the baby's bed time to 9pm or even 10pm. As others have said try waking him at 10 or 11pm and give him a small feed to settle him for the night. You say he goes to bed awake and happy, I would leave him until he was really tired and then put him to bed.
