Me again waking early again

[Donnarobbo88]

Cruz starts sleeping later then bam back to stupid wake ups
4.35 this morning how is that a time to get up bedtime hasn't changed so I don't see how it could be that
The only thing that's changed is becuz he's waking up at the crack of dawn he's napping earlier again and then having two naps I'm simply am at my wits end I've been up half the night with my older son who has been sick and now Cruz is awake ready for the day who will obv be shattered come 9 am so it's a vicious cycle

Ino it's to do with his naps he's going to early for one but how can I stop the early nap when he's up so early like today awake at 4.30 he's going to be shattered need a early nap and nothing changes 😩
He will be 15 months on the 12th April and he is cutting a bottom tooth next to the front ones. Ur he's fine in the nihjt it's just waking early x

not all babies can do 12 hours overnight, so looking at what you have you are getting 11-11.5hours, which is pretty normal, so I'd start with trying to get bedtime closer to 7pm if you want a wake up after 6am & also push out his nap to never before 11am & gradually move to closer to 12noon.

I think at 15mo you really have to work on more a set nap time & keep it at 1 nap, with my DS1 he was on 2 naps until 20months (pretty much related to my work hours) but he pretty much went to bed 8pm & was awake by 6am most mornings, when we got him to 1 nap, he was sleeping 7.30pm to 6/6.30am.

I think with the 4.30am wake up you just have to find ways to keep him going until at least 10.30am, preferably 11am otherwise you set his body clock on 2 naps & that will give a 10 hour night.

Agree with pp the only thing to add that we do DS2 is 14 months is give a quick micro nap 15 mins around 9.30 then long nap at 1pm x

[Donnarobbo88]

Thanks girls Ino ur right when he was only having 1 nap a day he was getting really overtired but he's a bit older now
Also Harribo do u stil put ur son into his cot for that short nap? I feel really cruel putting him down and waking him up so soon when he's tired and I like the peace lol! I defo don't want him all my ay half 4 tho that's for sure mornings haven't really been a problem lately he's been sleeping great and till at least 6am he defo sleeps better when his first nap isn't early tho
Thanks girls it's 8.35 now and he still seems fine I'm going to hold that nap of as long as possible x

[Donnarobbo88]

So I will work towards the one nap but I think for today there is no way I could keep him up till this afternoon so I let him have a 15 min cat nap like you harribo
9.30-9.45 let's hope tha helps him through till after lunch and he has a decent nap then x

[Haribo2012]

I tend to do the nap on the way to the shop or nip for a quick walk round the block. I want to get to 1 nap but DS2 isn't quite ready. He can easily get to 10.30 for a nap on a 6am WU but rarely gets past 1.5 hours so then we're stuck forcing CN at 3pm which he resists x

[Donnarobbo88]

Well it didn't work I put him down he woke crying after 50 mins Cruz rarely falls asleep on his pram anymore I'll have to try that tho Cruz is the same if he wakes at 6 he can last a good while for his nap I always worry he won't nap long enough tho and then like u said need a second cat nap x

He does still fall asleep on the school run tho if he's been awake really early
In total today he hasn't had much sleep at all hopefully he has a good sleep tonight
I'd love to be on one nap it makes life so much easier doesn't it lol x

[Haribo2012]

What times the school run? Maybe he could just have 15 mins then?

Naps are just a pain but I do miss them when there gone lol x

[Donnarobbo88]

School run of a morning I leave about 8.15 get back about 8.45 afterno N one I don't always do as dad normally does it but that's 3pm get back about 3.30 x
He woke at 5.20 this morning left him till 6 before we got up going to try keeping his m awake as long as possible today x

[Haribo2012]

Such a tricky age, our school run is a bit later 8.45, so I just nip and do an errand straight after and get a quick car nap on the way back. The days he's in childcare it's a mess though.

Would he cat nap on afternoon school run?

[Donnarobbo88]

He possibly would I will have to try he's only had the one nap today his teeth are bothering him to poor thing x

[Haribo2012]

I'd push for the 10.30am long nap and then pop CN in on school run, this was how my DS1 got through 2-1, then you can gradually work nap more towards lunchtime.

DS2 today did WU 6.15 and nap 12-2.35pm at nursery as he's kept busy x

[Donnarobbo88]

Thanks Hun I'll defo try that
He woke at 5.10 again today x

[Haribo2012]

How's things?x

[Donnarobbo88]

Pretty much the same he's still all over the place with naps yday he only had one nap 10.30-12
Bed at 6pm and slept til 5.45 so that's good Ino
He's got two teething cutting also
Stil trying to get consistent with the naps he's 15 months on Wednesday x
