My LO has always been an early bird. She usually wakes up to start the day around 5:30am (sometimes 5:15) ideally I'd like her to nap an hour longer. I've tried moving naps a bit, cutting a 3rd cat nap, changing her bedtime but nothing seems to work. Even though I'd like to sleep longer in the am, I can manage but 4 year old sleeps in the same room as baby and she's having a hard time waking up earlier especially now that she's had her nap cut out too because of school.
Here's what baby's schedule looks like:
5:30 (or sooner) wakes up for the day
6:20ish I get her out of bed and ready for the day
6:30ish nurses
6:45ish breakfast
8:30 1hr nap (I've tried pushing it to 9. Most days she's too tired but 9am didn't make a different to EW)
10:00 nurses
11:30ish lunch
1:00 nurses then nap (about 1hr30 more or less)
4:00 nurses
5:00 catnaps sometimes happen (cutting out nap didn't affect EW)
6:00 (sometimes a little sooner) dinner then bedtime routine (bath etc.)
In bed by 6:30/7
What can I change that I haven't already tried that could make her sleep a little longer in the am? And I'm terrified that because of daylight savings coming up, that 5:30 wake turns into 4:30 wake 😩
