18 month old early morning wakes since … forever
I’m looking for suggestions to help with early mornings. My baby is babe #2 and has been a bad sleeper since birth it seems. I sleep trained approximately 200x and as she got older it eventually stuck. First major hurdle was night weaning which helped overnight wakes but she’s always up at the absolute crack of dawn.
Wakes up: 4:45 or 5am
Nap: 12-2 (daycare time)
Bedtime: 7:30 or 7:45pm
I have done a 7:30/7:45 bedtime for a little over a week (from 7) now trying to get everyone sleeping until 5:30 without success. She’s still waking up ready to go before 5am typically.
My other issue is her car seat puts her to sleep in the mornings. It makes outings hard and makes me wonder if she actually is tired? So she’s getting about 9 hours at night
Awake 7 hours until nap and 5 1/2 hours after nap. I have this feeling if I could even out those times she’d get better but I can’t seem to reset anything. She’s just an early little bird. Thoughts? Suggestions? I just want to sleep to 5:30 or god forbid 6am!
