My 19 month old wakes soon early, no matter what time he goes to bed.
We follow the same routine everyday, except for the occasional time where we may be out late.
Dinner 5.30
Bath 6.30
Breastmilk and lullabies after bath and usually in bed around 7 00pm
He goes to bed awake and puts himself asleep so no issues there. However for the past 6 weeks or so he's been waking up between 4 30 and 5.30 every mornibv. We've tried going on and telling him it's still night time and we've tried CIO but he just wails and wails so no one gets sleep.
We then get him up and he has his breast milk and seems ready and raring to go for the day however he yawns quite a lot in the morning.
Some days he's a real grump and cries and whingey all day.
He has an afternoon nap around 1pm for an hour but occasionally he will sleep up to 2 hours,, he won't go to sleep on his own for a nap so I have to hold him and rock him for this.
Is there anything I can do? Do we just have to resign ourself to the fact that we just have an early waker
Any help or advice or experience would be gratefully received.
