Anyone else’s LO start adjusting their wake times around 4.5-5 MO?

My LO was sleeping very consistently until 9:30-10am for months. Then a bit after 4.5 MO she started waking at 8:30 am like clockwork for a couple of weeks until she hit 5 MO and now today is the second day in a row she woke at 7:30 am. Her bedtime hasn’t changed.

Anyone else?

@robaya Absolutely. My baby just turned 5 months old and has switched to waking at 6:00 instead of 8:00. I attribute it to longer uninterrupted sleep at night/consistent naps

@brokenheart7 Nothing of the sort here. Her daytime naps have been awful since she turned four months old; she doesn’t nap longer than 45 minutes. She also had been sleeping through the night between 10 1/2 to 11 hours previously and now she’s sleeping just a little over nine hours.

@robaya I'm sitting here thinking my son's 30 minute naps twice a day are gold

@brokenheart7 Oh dang! Really? She’s still napping 4-5 times a day but I’m thinking we should cut one and extend her wake times. I just tried this this morning to extend her wake time from 1.5 to 2 hours and she fell asleep almost instantly.
