Early Wake-Ups & How to Fix Them 4–6 Months | Day 8
Good morning and congrats—you’ve made it through the first week of sleep training! Today, Dana Obleman tackles a common challenge at this stage: early morning wake-ups (we’re talking 4:30–5:00am kind of early).
If your baby is consistently waking before 6:00am, don’t panic—it’s normal, and there are strategies to help them sleep longer.
In this video, you’ll learn:
– Why early wake-ups are common around this age
– How noise, light, and timing may be affecting your baby’s morning sleep
– Why feeding before 6:00am can reinforce unwanted wake-ups
– What to do instead (hint: treat it like any other nighttime wake-up)
– A recap of tonight’s bedtime approach: stay by the door and resist the urge to intervene
🌅 This stage can be tough, but a few small changes can make a big difference.
