I grimace at 5am but 4am would be just completely unacceptable in my house. I'll happily go in and see the little monster and resettle him but there is just no way I would get up at 4am with him (unless he's ill) because it just makes me the world's most grumpiest mummy. He can stay and yell himself silly (and he does) but he doesn't seem to actually get upset for more than a few minutes. I'm not really into letting him cry a lot but 4am is definitely time for being in your bedroom.</p> <p>Obviously the circumstances at your mum's are a bit exceptional.</p> Does putting him to bed later help him sleep later?

Obviously the circumstances at your mum’s are a bit exceptional.

Funnily enough my daugher has suddenly started waking up at 5 am. As I can't make breakfast last any longer than 15 minutes and Tellytubbies (yuck!) doesn't start till 8.30 am I have to fill in the intervening 3 hours, also without waking the rest of the house. I've started taking her out for bike rides at 6.30 am just to give us something to do. </p> <p>Tomorrow I'm off to visit a friend in England and I'm terrified that she's going to wake at 4 am (due to the time difference between here and the UK) and wake everyone else up. So I really feel for you.</p> That sounds like a bit of a nightmare. Funnily enough my daugher has suddenly started waking up at 5 am.

Tomorrow I’m off to visit a friend in England and I’m terrified that she’s going to wake at 4 am (due to the time difference between here and the UK) and wake everyone else up. So I really feel for you.
