My son wakes up in the wee hours of the morning everday, what can I do to help him? He doesn't take naps.?
Answers:
my kids are the 5.45am type of kids. it is quite annoying, especially since i have to be up at 6.00am and would like those last few minutes of sleep... i can definitely sympathise with you.... i told my kids that they are not allowed out of their beds until it is light. i keep their shades pulled low so the early sun doesnt wake them. they are allowed to call me if they need me. eventually, they started getting up later, or playing in their beds once they awoke. i used to put special books in their beds in the night (once they were asleep) so that when they awoke, there was something to occupy them for a bit. hopefully, he will grow out of it....

What time does he go to bed? Maybe it's too early or maybe he's just an early riser.
my son did the exact same thing. fortunately he grew out of it. i find that the best thing is to be consistent with him. tell him that it is still bedtime and that he must sleep in order to have a good day. tell him that mommy will come back when its time to get up. be patient, mom, because Rome wasn't built in a day.
MY OLDEST SON WAS LIKE THAT HOWEVER NO MATTER WHAT TIME WE PUT HIM TO BED HE ALWAYS WOKE UP AND WONDERED AROUND HE WILL GROW OUT OF IT
does he get up b/c he has to potty - make sure he goes before bed- and maybe put him to bed an hour or so later
What dissrupts the day...him taking a nap! He is three, he should still be taking naps in the afternoon, or atleast laying in bed / on the couch etc...with a book or just a teddy bear. And what is a decent hour...10 p.m.!
he sleeps early he'll wake up early u don expect him to sleep at 9 and wakes at 12 rite.....
my children doesn't takes nap... so usually they sleep from 10~8
ususally i play with them and make them tired so they will sleep a longer time in the nite
I read that if you put a cup of water/juice in a cup holder on his bed/crib and a snack that ...(put it there when he is sleeping) when he wakes up he can fill his belly and then maybe play with some toys/books buy you a few extra minutes. Other then that he is probably just an early riser and as moms we go insane because they go go go for soooo many hours. Good luck!!
