4.30am wake ups - please help!

[SusieQue]

I'm wondering if it's time to go to set nap and bed times. He woke at 5.50 yesterday morning, and slept from 11.05 to 1.05. We put him to bed at 6.30 and he was asleep by 6.35, but this morning he woke at 5! He was so tired before bed but I wonder if it was still too early. I managed to keep him up until 10.30 today and he was asleep by 10.35. Should I just start moving to set a set nap time of 11 regardless of wake up time? I wonder if this would help regulate him as he seems to have a different wake up and bed time every day!

Hiya, you may well be on the right thinking track Hun, I agree. Usually changing things up every day just serves to mess up LO's body clock, even though it can be useful in the short term to allow them to CU. Can you try for an 111 am set nap, and if you do can nursery follow suit, so he has consistency  TBH though I wouldn't set BT too late while the EW continues, just in case it actually perpetuates it YK  If you can try and stick with a 13 hour day max.
