hi Ladies!
I have similar problem of EMW with my 7.5mo lo. It started about 1m ago when I think his theething was waking him up. then it went ot a habit I guess. I tried W2S 3 days, break, 3 days and maybe it helped for 2-3 days but then again WU 5.20/5.40. he plays always for 40min and then he starts crying. Only a couple of times managed to fall back asleep

I even started PU/PD today because 2nd day (of new wave) of W2S didn't work and he woke up at 5.30 anyway

I had to do it for 40mins before 7AM and then started his day...
I tried to be very consistent with his day routine recently playing a bit with his BT (shortening morning nap to 15min and giving him CN of 15mins). He reacts quite well to OT (that's what I think) and has always been LSN so I usually pushed his BT forward closer to 8pm. For a few days it helped and he woke up at 6/6.20, but then again. His night was usually aroung 11hrs but started to shorten to 10:50/10:20 when he was 6mo. Today it was 9:30 which is definitely too short

His days look like this recently:
5.30 WU
6.10 cry, sometimes calms down when I go to him but I try not to pick him up or start his day. I gave him water a few times and he drank 100-180ml
7.00 bottle (200-240ml)
8.15 breakfast (150g)
9.30 sleep (cap at 30min)
11.30 lunch (180g)
13.00 sleep (cap at 1:45)
15.00 bottle (240ml)
17.00 solids (170g)
19.00 bottle (200ml)
19.30 bath
19.40 bottle (150ml)
19.50 sleep
He eats a lot and I give him bottle twice by the end of the day to make sure he doesn't WU because of hunger. He weights over 11kg (4.35kg at birth).
Do you have any idea what I could do? I will try to give him 45mins today in the morning and then cap 2nd nap after 1:30. Do you think I should revert his routine to have long morning nap and short pm nap??? I don't think he'd have problems with going down for his 1st nap at 10am even though he gets up so early... He really doesn't seem extremely tired during the day with 11:30-12hrs of sleep total...

!!! He's an IS and we don't use dummy since 5mo...
Please advise...
