7 month old EW

[smother]

DD has been waking up in the 5am hour for a few weeks now. Sometimes she has a BM when we go in there but not always. We have tried cutting out her CN because I know this is a sign of that and the timing is right. But cutting it hasn't helped so she is just getting less sleep. I have also tried w2s an hour before she was waking up but then she started waking up 30 minutes later (so earlier than without w2s). Here is her routine without the CN:

5:30 wake
9 - 10:30 nap
1-2:30 nap
7 bed

I know there are some long A times there. I tried doing a consistent time for morning nap because my son did the EW thing around the same age and it took months to get rid of it and only changed when we transitioned to 1 nap which was at the same time every day.


I am thinking of going back to the CN and shorter A times which would look like this:
5:30 wake
8:30 - 10 nap
1-2:30 nap
5-5:30 CN
7:30 bed
My nanny did this once this week by accident and she slept in to 5:45 (yes that is sleeping in for us right now)!

Thoughts?

Is she sleeping through? Our DS slept 7-5.30 around this age, but a 10.5 hour night is a good nights sleep for some LOs. Does she wake happy? I think your middle A may be a touch short and the last A too long. You want ~3 hours between each S. If you push that first S forward before 9 I think you may get more EW....what do you think about moving that second nap to 1.30-3 to start with (over a few days etc) and see if that helps?
I wouldn't bring the CN back personally, but what that EASY may be telling you is that A to bed is too long.
