6–9 monthsEarly Morning WakingNight Waking

The 5am Wake-Up Phase

Parent of an 8-month-old

For about three weeks, she suddenly started waking at 5am every single day. I kept wondering if I should change everything, but things gradually settled again. Looking back, it felt much bigger while we were in the middle of it.

What happened next

Over the following few weeks, mornings gradually became easier and the early wakes became less frequent.
