Hi
My 11 month old has been wakening between 4:45 - 5:30 every day for about 10 weeks. If I sush him back it takes roughly 1.5 hours to get him off to sleep and he will maybe sleep until 8am. He has a lunchtime nap of 1.5 hrs and goes to bed okay for 7/7:30 (gets his dinner at 5/6). Total daily sleep is 2.5 hours with 4/5 hours between 2 naps. He doesn't wake throughout night just up really early!
I am at my wits end - we are exhausted as it is so draining trying to get him back to sleep so we usually just get up with him and start our day early. I am scared this will be his routine for his early years. We are in bed at 9 everynight!
I have tried literally everything and nothing seems to work. Darkened room, changed whole schedule, feed on wakening, kept him up later, cut out/cut down naps - nothing works 😓
Is this a habit we need to break? Friends told us to leave him and set an alarm and dont go in until then.
Has anyone been through this, how long did it last and what did you do?
Thanks
