I'll try to be brief, and thanks in advance for any advice...
DS is almost 2 (at end November). He's a good sleeper, settling himself around 7pm and making it through the night, more often than not. Recently we've had a bit of regression in that he's found it harder to settle (so we've reverted to our version of controlled crying/pick up put down) which has worked, but the mornings are getting earlier and earlier. He's always been an early riser, 6-6.15am, but I can live with that. Recently though its been 5am, 5.30am... And 4.40am today!
He's always upset when he wakes, but is wide awake... 'Up, play, downstairs, breakfast...'
I have DC2 on the way, due at the end of December. I can't keep on with these early starts. DH helps but heads to work around 7.30am and we both struggle to function in the mornings.
Does anyone have any advice? He's still in a cot and we thought we'd wait until DC2 is about 6 months before moving DS into the bigger bed in a new room... Or should we be looking to get that sorted now so that its done?
Happy to try controlled crying again but would need to warn the neighbours... Can't see how it would work though as he just doesn't seem tired at all once he has woken.
