Why does putting baby to bed later NOT help with early mornings? Sound familiar?

When babies are OVERTIRED they release Cortisol. This kicks in when melatonin levels start to drop after midnight. When it's almost gone after 3am it can be almost impossible to get them back to sleep.

Other signs include:
- taking a long time to get to sleep
- struggle to nap/stay asleep /cat napping
- fussy and irritable when awake even after a nap

BUT getting into good sleep hygiene, routines and nap schedules that are age appropriate timings. Consistency and being persistent are all key!

You got this PARENTS !!
