The resources I used and referenced in all my baby sleep posts are: Today I want to share how we problem solved when Bibi started waking up too early. At first, I thought this was a signal that she was ready to transition from 2 naps to one which I described in this post, but it turns out it we just needed to help baby sleep continuously through the night again. One challenging sleep issue we had was when baby started waking up at 5 a.m.

We’ve learned to adjust and reassess as our baby has grown. I’ve shared how we trained our 3-month old baby to sleep for 12 hours without feeding, how we overcame Bibi’s 4-month sleep regression and how we transitioned our 9-month old to a two nap schedule. According to neonatal nurse Cara, from Taking Cara Babies, “A NORMAL and HEALTHY wake time for babies is 6:00-7:00 am.” After our baby had been consistently sleeping through the night, dealing with baby waking up at 5 am can be hard! Parenthood can be summed up in one sentence: “Just when you have it all figured out, something changes.” This is especially true when it comes to sleeping during the first few years of a child’s life.

Yes, it is too early for babies to be waking up at 5am.
