My 10 month old triplet girls are sleeping good through the night right now but will still get up before 6am and now it is too hard to get them back to sleep like we use to be able to do. Since they are all in one room, whoever wakes up first is waking the other two up. I know they are capable of sleeping until 7am because when we use to take the crying baby out of the room to feed within seconds before they could wake a baby up, the other one or two would sometimes sleep until 7. But, now they are just too much aware of their sisters being awake next to them. They go to bed around 7 or 7:30 so they should be able to sleep 11 hours by now and at least sleep till 6. But, a 7am wake up would be ideal. Should we still continue to try and take the baby that wakes up first out of the room or let them cry and try and fall back to sleep if it is in the 5am hour?

One of our girls started waking up earlier and earlier, and eventually started waking up at 6 a.m. About a month ago, we decided to just leave her in there until 7:30 a.m. She cried for a little while the first morning then fell back to sleep, but just babbled the next morning, and now seems fine with it (and even has been sleeping until 8 a.m. or later the last few mornings). So, I'd leave her in there for a few mornings just to see how that works for you.

Hi Halee,
So, are they all in the same room? If so, does she not wake them up when she was crying at first?

They are all in the same room. Sometimes she wakes up the others, but they usually don't cry, they just get frustrated that she woke them up (my son will slam his feet down on the mattress to voice his displeasure -- we spent weeks trying to figure out what that noise was and finally caught him in the act one day). Typically, they sleep right through another baby crying. At first we would grab the one that is crying to try to keep from waking up the others, then we made a decision to just leave them to teach everyone how to sleep through their siblings' rants. . . .

My kids have been doing the same thing for the past 3-4 months. They are 8 months now. They also go to bed at 7 PM and will sometimes wake up as early as 5-5:30 AM. I usually just leave them in their cribs and they usually will cry a little and then go back to sleep. Sometimes they wake each other up but sometimes they sleep through the noise. It seems like the more I leave them be, the more they are going back to sleep. Every once in awhile I will feed one a bottle if they continue to cry and that always puts them back to sleep. We still get up early...by 6:30 AM every day. I'm hoping that after spring forward next weekend we will be able to do 7:30 PM-7 AM. Looking forward to see what others say.

If they wake up before it's time to get out of their cribs, we just leave them in there. Typically they will play and/or jabber for about 15-20 minutes and then go back to sleep. If one of them is just uncontrollably crying or screaming we will get him out, but no bottle until the regular time. Just make sure there is no reward for waking up earlier: if they are getting special time with a parent or getting an early bottle, it feels like a nice present to them But this is just what works for us.

All 3 of ours are in the same room. They are turning 1 on Monday (ahhhhh!!!!), but at 10 months they did the same thing. At least one of them was up between 5 - 5:30 every morning. We were taking whoever got up out but then decided to just let them go and they would eventually fall back asleep. Within a couple of weeks, they started to sleep until 7-7:30. They did wake each other up at first, but that stopped too. Good Luck!

dont go in unless it sounds like something is really wrong. They will eventually learn to get used to each others crying and that it is not time to get up yet. good luck.

We use the Healthy Sleep Habits Happy Child book method which recommends putting to bed earlier (which seems opposite of what you would think but the theory is that sleep begets sleep--it works for us)
and we also will just leave the baby in until at LEAST or after depending how much she is protesting. She is doing much better though and we honestly have found that the "more she sleeps----the more she sleeps!"

I'm also having this issue -- but am finding they are poopy? Has anyone experienced this?
