Our son is 13 ½ months old. He has been early waking for about the last month (around 5 or 5:30), but it’s getting worse. He used to often go back to sleep after a feeding then, for another 45 minutes or an hour, but now he cries and cries if we don’t get him up. That seems to wake his older brother, so the days are getting off to a bad start.
Have looked through the posts but think some eyes on this would really be helpful in adjusting whatever we can to fix this for a more normal wakeup. He used to get up between 6 and 7, which was great!
Here’s what yesterday into this morning’s 4:43 wakeup looked like (btw, I have tried waiting to go in and the crying escalates, waking the house up). He does fall asleep independently for night and naps. He is teething but we’re giving meds to help.
