5 AM Is Not Morning
If it’s dark and your baby is up—you're not alone.
Early waking is often caused by:
- Bedtime too late
- Nap timing off
- First feed too early
- Too much light in the room
- Under- or over-tiredness before bed

Plan My Baby's Sleep (Free)- Move bedtime earlier by 15 minutes
- Cap the last nap appropriately
- Use blackout curtains (hand test: can you see your hand?)
- Use white noise to mask birds, trucks, etc.
- Delay first feed by 10 minutes each day
Final Thought
Small changes can make a big difference. You don’t have to settle for sunrise parenting if you’re not ready.
