Hi Zaida, Congratulations to your daughter and to the fact that she is such a good sleeper. Being so young, she really is doing great. What you describe about her being restless during those early morning hours is a very common thing and something I remeber very well from my own children too. Actually two of hour three children had periods when they woke up to be wide awake at some point between 4 and 6 am - for an hour or so. Torture for an exhausted mom! One thing I did notice with especially one of our children; she seemed to gather gas during the night. Then at around 4 am or so, she became uncomfortable and started to make noise and move around. If I then helped her to release gas by pressing her legs gently towards her tummy, she could then get back to sleep much easier and without making noise. Maybe worth trying? I have also noticed that it is very important that the bedroom is completely dark also during those hours of dawn. Another possibility you can try at this time, is to <a href="http://www.easybabylife.com/co-sleeping.html">let your baby co-sleep with you</a> and see if it helps. I hope any of these tips will help you out. But also remember to have realistic expectations for your little daughter. Such young babies are not really designed for sleeping long periods and she is doing great already. But of course the tips are worth trying.
