For me, wake up and get up are 2 different times - E can wake up anywhere from 5.30, she has a boob and will come into bed with me and either go back to sleep if it's early, or we watch cartoons for half an hour, and get up 6.30-7.]]> Wed, 18 Nov 2009 07:25:15 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29912&PID=842606&title=what-is-your-acceptable-wakeup-time#842606 <![CDATA[What is your acceptable wakeup time? : What do you do if your little...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29912&PID=842587&title=what-is-your-acceptable-wakeup-time#842587 Author: kiwikid

What do you do if your little one is crying tho??? Hayden always wakes up wanting booby and is very upset until and I go and get him (yes he is 15mths and loves his morning booby still

This morning it was 5.30am but his PJ's were a bit wet from the silly nappy, it is usually 6am sometimes 6.30am and every now and again 7am NEVER EVER been 8am He is asleep in bed at 7pm 90% of the time.

Oooh CuriousG that is hard, when you put Cam back to bed after his 4am feed you have less than 2hrs sleep til you have to get up for the day I take my hat off to you, you are a mummy legend I cant even fathom how I'd cope with that but then you just do I guess, now if I get woken once in the night I feel like death but it was only this time last year when it was twice a night every night and I survived ]]> Wed, 18 Nov 2009 01:49:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29912&PID=842587&title=what-is-your-acceptable-wakeup-time#842587 <![CDATA[What is your acceptable wakeup time? : Our two usually wake between 7-7.30...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29912&PID=840662&title=what-is-your-acceptable-wakeup-time#840662 Author: lisa85

My two tend to wake between 5.30 - 6.30 most mornings. For us this isn't a bad thing as DH and I should both be getting out of bed at this time anyway to get ready for work.

It used to be 7am. They would wake around 6:30am and I would let them in their cots until I was ready to get them. When I got up I would chuck books into them while I got my coffee.

Now the sides are off the cots I have to go in to separate the squabbling over books

We had a 5:30 start from Aoife today. *yawn*
But most days now it's 6am - 6:30am and this is after them settling for the night at 8pm!

Well, 6am seems to be not unacceptable in some houses. I would dearly love it to be later but I can't make her sleep when she isn't tired. Its 6am on the dot every morning at the moment, I think with lighter mornings its not helping but I have accepted it and am getting up when she does. Looking at the positive of it, I am up, dressed and breakfasted before Cam wakes up as he usually feeds about 4amish and then sleeps until 7.30-8am most mornings.]]> Mon, 16 Nov 2009 06:25:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29912&PID=839671&title=what-is-your-acceptable-wakeup-time#839671 <![CDATA[What is your acceptable wakeup time? : Taylah normally wakes around 630am....]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29912&PID=839216&title=what-is-your-acceptable-wakeup-time#839216 Author: _SMS_

6am minimum - sometimes she wakes at 5.30, and I prefer 7, so it's my compromise! But that will change when she's older and the mornings are darker again, I'm sure.

7am is "morning" here. Anything before that gets treated like night time (lights stay off and no getting out of the cot). I let C sleep till whenever he likes though - we've had a few 8.30 sleep ins on the odd occasion! Bliss! Our bedrooms are really dark in this house so I find it really hard to wake up in the mornings. In our old place 7am was easy coz the sun would come up and I would be wide awake. Now it still feels like the middle of the night

Our girls wake anywhere between 6:30 and 7. Keira would sleep longer but it is Maddi who likes to wake at 6:30 and if she doesn't get her feed straight away she will scream. It would be lovely if she just played happily in her bed.

Hi for us its just after 7 in the mornings during the week as we are getting ready for work and daycare - if its before she will normally settle again at the weekend I get her up between 7.30 - 7.45 its sleep in time! Hubby is gone from the house early at the weekends so it just me and bub. Sometimes she is awake but others we need to wake her which I hate.

7am in this house, with a 6.30-7pm bedtime each night.

I'm old fashioned in the belief that you start as you mean to continue, so that bedtime and wake time (although next year it will be 6.30 when I'm working) will carry on through to school age.

Ava usually wakes between 6-7am but I either resettle her, just let her grizzle in her bed (as she never takes a bottle that early for some reason), or put her in bed with me. She usually then sleeps til 7.30 sometimes.]]> Sat, 14 Nov 2009 21:45:54 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29912&PID=838655&title=what-is-your-acceptable-wakeup-time#838655 <![CDATA[What is your acceptable wakeup time? : This morning it was 8:36! :D It&#039;s...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29912&PID=838509&title=what-is-your-acceptable-wakeup-time#838509 Author: sottise

This morning it was 8:36! :D

It's not morning in our house until 7, although she's definitely allowed to sleep later if she feels so inclined. I'm not a morning person, and 6 is far too early for my liking...

If she wakes earlier (6:30 is her earliest) she's pretty happy unzipping her sleeping bag and throwing everything out of her cot til I get her up. It'll be interesting to see if / how that changes when she's in a bed she can actually get out of.]]> Sat, 14 Nov 2009 19:47:05 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29912&PID=838509&title=what-is-your-acceptable-wakeup-time#838509 <![CDATA[What is your acceptable wakeup time? : E went through a phase of waking...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29912&PID=838472&title=what-is-your-acceptable-wakeup-time#838472 Author: ElfsMum

7am is our rule, too.

We have blackout curtains, Hannah still wakes at 5:30. She can hear the birds and see the light over the top of them.
But if she starts to get ratty we just go in, lie her down (without talking) kiss her and say "night night".
She usually stays put until 6:30 then play happily.
The last couple of mornings she's woken at 6:30 and played happily (ie: destroyed her bedroom) until I go in at 7. ]]> Sat, 14 Nov 2009 17:01:14 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29912&PID=838369&title=what-is-your-acceptable-wakeup-time#838369 <![CDATA[What is your acceptable wakeup time? : 6am is the earliest we&#039;ll...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29912&PID=838367&title=what-is-your-acceptable-wakeup-time#838367 Author: blondy

6am is the earliest we'll start the day - for a while Nat was waking at 5.30 most mornings, so we left her in her cot till 6am minimum. She's now going till 6.30/7 which is great. One of the sleep books I have says that 6am is a very common wakeup time for babies/toddlers, and often there's nothing that can be done about it. Hopefully it's a phase, but I would say you might have to accept it. ]]> Sat, 14 Nov 2009 16:59:55 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29912&PID=838367&title=what-is-your-acceptable-wakeup-time#838367 <![CDATA[What is your acceptable wakeup time? : Jades in bed at 7.30pm & she wakes...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29912&PID=838335&title=what-is-your-acceptable-wakeup-time#838335 Author: M.i.s.s.y

7am is the rule in our house too - for the big kids at least, babies are a little less flexible . If Maya gets up before 7 she turns the TV on quietly in the lounge, and the gremlins almost never wake till I get up coz we co-sleep so they stay put until I disturb them when I'm getting up.

Lil miss usually sleeps till just after 7am, altho this week we've had a few early starts. I usually lie in bed and listen to her chattering on the monitor until it becomes insistent and turns to an "ok mum, I'm over this, come and get me" kind of grizzle.]]> Sat, 14 Nov 2009 16:01:57 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29912&PID=838314&title=what-is-your-acceptable-wakeup-time#838314 <![CDATA[What is your acceptable wakeup time? : I&#039;m just reading the contented...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29912&PID=838251&title=what-is-your-acceptable-wakeup-time#838251 Author: tiptoes

I'm just reading the contented little baby and it mentions the same thing monikah says about having black out curtains in their rooms to stop them waking so early. Might be worth a try if you want to shift their wake up times?

We already bought new curtains so I was thinking we might just buy the black out material and stick it over the curtains to see if it does the trick once the baby gets here and he's in his own room (curtains in our room keep it quite dark).]]> Sat, 14 Nov 2009 14:14:39 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29912&PID=838251&title=what-is-your-acceptable-wakeup-time#838251 <![CDATA[What is your acceptable wakeup time? : we will not get DS out of bed...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29912&PID=838226&title=what-is-your-acceptable-wakeup-time#838226 Author: monikah

I don't mind if he wakes early, he just isn't get up early.]]> Sat, 14 Nov 2009 11:59:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29912&PID=838154&title=what-is-your-acceptable-wakeup-time#838154 <![CDATA[What is your acceptable wakeup time? : Ella normally wakes up between...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29912&PID=838131&title=what-is-your-acceptable-wakeup-time#838131 Author: Mum2ET

Ella normally wakes up between 6.30 and 7.30. Rule in the house if she wakes up before 7 she has to stay in her room until then- which she is normally fine  with and she just gets a couple of her soft toys/dolls and chatters away to them until I come and get her.

Sam wakes anywhere between 6AM and 8AM.   I am really really really not a morning person, but I do enjoy having child free evenings so he is in bed at 7:30PM each night, I have tried earlier but he just mucks around. I find if he goes to bed at the same time he sleeps longer but if by some miracle he's had a sleep during the day, he is up till 9-10PM and then he wakes up at 5-6AM!   Strange child.

For some reason, the magical time in my head is 7:30AM for him to wake up and I am ok with that, but any earlier and I am grumpy for a while.

Not much fun when my DPs alarm goes off and EVERYBODY gets woken up except for him!   Which means Sam and I are up and he's still snoring away. ]]> Sat, 14 Nov 2009 11:11:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29912&PID=838111&title=what-is-your-acceptable-wakeup-time#838111 <![CDATA[What is your acceptable wakeup time? : Spencer wakes between 6-7am, Kyle...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29912&PID=838090&title=what-is-your-acceptable-wakeup-time#838090 Author: cuppatea

Hollie's just changed her routine, I don't get her up until 7 now, but if she wakes any earlier she just chats away in her cot When she was still having two sleeps it was 6, but I did the same thing if she woke up earlier than that.]]> Sat, 14 Nov 2009 10:03:46 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29912&PID=838062&title=what-is-your-acceptable-wakeup-time#838062 <![CDATA[What is your acceptable wakeup time? : 7am for us.

I like them to stagger their waking .. so Elias I prefer to wake early (5.30-6.00) so that he is fed and back in bed by the time Issy wakes (7.00-8.00), although he has been sleeping longer and then it kind of becomes a juggling act.

When they both get to toddler age, I think 6 is reasonable on a weekday and 7 would be preferable on a weekend.

Keira has always been quite good at sleeping and we usually dont hear from her until after 7. At the moment it is Maddi who is waking at 6:30 (this morning 6) no matter what time we put her to bed which ends up waking Keira too.

It is so hard when its a habit to get them to sleep any longer. When Keira was little if she ever got into the habit of waking before 7 we would try throwing her whole routine out so we could reestablish a slightly more reasonable wake up time. Like having a really late night, a really busy day or throwing in a day sleep (or not).]]> Sat, 14 Nov 2009 09:35:53 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29912&PID=838040&title=what-is-your-acceptable-wakeup-time#838040 <![CDATA[What is your acceptable wakeup time? : We just get up whenever Alex does....]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29912&PID=838032&title=what-is-your-acceptable-wakeup-time#838032 Author: Henna79

We just get up whenever Alex does. Sometimes it's anytime from 5.30 on. You could always get her to come snuggle in the big bed with Mum and Dad until you are all ready to get up. ]]> Sat, 14 Nov 2009 09:29:08 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29912&PID=838032&title=what-is-your-acceptable-wakeup-time#838032 <![CDATA[What is your acceptable wakeup time? : Just curious, what time do your...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29912&PID=838026&title=what-is-your-acceptable-wakeup-time#838026 Author: CuriousG

Just curious, what time do your kids wake up? Charlotte wakes up at 6am each morning, no matter what time she goes to bed (whether it be 6pm or 9pm).

We think its too early but are we being unrealistic? Its causing huge arguments in our house but I am thinking I just need to accept it.

Just wondering what time your kids (of similar age) wake up each morning and what time you find acceptable? ]]> Sat, 14 Nov 2009 09:27:02 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29912&PID=838026&title=what-is-your-acceptable-wakeup-time#838026
