Baby Waking At 4.00 Every Morning...help

[proudmary]

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?
Thanks x

Try a couple of drops of lavender oil somewhere on his bed, but not too close to his head. This worked when my grand daughter went through a phase of not sleeping properly.

I would have killed to get 9 hours sleep - my son never slept through the night till he was 5 years old!!

Most parents would be delighted if their child slept until 4am
