Our DD is 2.3, and after many battles is now pretty good at going to bed. I know how lucky we are in this, and am very grateful for it after no sleep until she was 18 months! The problem is mornings and naps, she's up between 5 & 6 am (usually nearer to 5. I think its usually a wet nappy or hunger waking her, but sometimes she clearly just wants to get up and play. We've bought a groclock on the advice of friends but I really can't see how it will work. I think she'll just stand in the cot and scream just as she would if we left her now. And I can see why really, I'd be bored too just lying awake in the cot .
As for naps, well those are strictly for only when I trick her into it by driving in the car! She is very indignant when she wakes too, despite clearly needing the sleep. I'm hoping this will just resolve itself as she grows out if the need for a nap.
Has anyone had any success with this? Is the answer to put books or toys in the cot with her at the same time as the groclock?
Any experiences would be helpful. Many thanks
