Advice-15 month old early wake

[mariarico]

Hi
My 15 month old is on 1 nap a day starting December and was doing so well
But he was teething beginning of January and then he started waking early 5-5:30am. He was doing a 5hour15 mon wake time. And now it’s all messed up.
His tooth has fully grown so I think he got used to the early wake time. Doesn’t work for us

I’ve tried going back to 5hr 15 min wake time and I’ve tried doing 5hr 30 min. Nothing!

Now it’s all over the place

Here’s typical day :

5:30-wake leave in crib til 7am
7:30 eat 10:45 lunch
11:30/12 nap (2hrs, sometimes 1.5 hrs) - I know it’s 6hrs here, I’ve tried 11am but didn’t help

1:30/2 wake
Snack, milk
5:30 dinner
7-7:30 sleep/bed

So he gets usually 10 hours night and 1.5-2 hours day (11.5-12 hours total)
He used to do 11 hours night and 2.5 hours nap (when he was 13-14 months)

Ideal wake time would be 6:30/7am
Thank you!!

 Is he happy & normal through the day? If so then It sounds to me like he's just got older & needs slightly less sleep in 24. At that age my DS2 would only sleep 10 hours at night & 1.5hours in the day, where as my DS1 was still on 2 naps... every child is different, it's more about how they function when they are awake than the exact hours.

You could try making the day more physically active for him to tire him out more or cut the nap shorter/bed a bit later, but apart from what you are doing in not getting him up, there isn't much else that worked for us - until  DS2 hit High School this month & now he sleeps in past 7... took over 12 years to get it & it's when we don't want it LOL
