Sleep Timing Question

For information based upon infant sleep cycles and patterns, you may wish to read the book "Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child" by Dr. Marc Weissbluth. He is a Chicago-based pediatrician who specializes in infant/child sleep issues with over 30 years of research in the field. You might find the information regarding sleep patterns, circadian rhythms, the 'early wake' you mention, and 'prime time' rather interesting. It would definitely shed some light as to why your child is doing what she is doing.

It doesn't have anything to do with the food. The first sleep segment is usually the longest. Two feedings a night is good at that age. From my experience, though, you might be able to put her to bed a little earlier, but you know her best.

Every child is different. Are you nursing? If you are nursing I find that those babies wake up and need to eat. Those on formula are able to sleep through the night after turning 3 months old. At this age sleeping 9:30-10:30 to 5:30 is sleeping through the night. Go with your gut you know your baby best.
