AIBU to try to get my DD to sleep in longer?

[UnicornAndSparkles]

Dd is generally a good sleeper but she's been persistently waking at 5/5.15 daily for months now. Shes 3y 4m. We cut her daytime nap (90 min) out entirely on the advice of a sleep consultant and that worked for maybe 3 weeks and she was sleeping 6.30pm to 6/6.30am. Now its back to "normal". I worry she isn't getting enough sleep, she averages maybe 10.5ish hours a night, in bed from 6.30/6.45 and asleep within minutes, waking around 5. I know there are many that have it worse than me but im just desperate to get her sleeping past 5ish in the morning. How do I do it?! She has a clock that she can read but persistently turns her lamp on and "reads" when she wakes, which would be fine if she didn't sing/call out and wake all of us! Im pregnant and not sleeping well at night and the early starts are just killing me!

Literally word for word what you said since the clocks went back here. 3yrs 3 months same times etc between 430 and 545 waking up and not going back to sleep.

On wed I started using the GRO clock we’ve had for ages telling her that unless it’s yellow it’s sleep time. I set the sun to come up at 615 and first day she stayed in bed till 615 and didn’t call out till then and was very excited about the yellow clock and small bribe I gave her (a paw patrol mashem)

Every day since I’ve been setting it a bit later... she’s been waking up, seeing it wasn’t yellow and going back to sleep!! 🙌 and then waking up nearer when the clock is set- maybe 1 or 2 more sleep cycles. I’ve been moving it a bit later each day.

This morning she slept in till 7 and I had to wake her. 😮

I hope I’ve fixed her for now. Bribes and grow clock. I’m also pregnant so feel your pain.

She's a very similar age to my DD and it sounds like she's getting her recommended hours of sleep. We have a similar issue with my DD but she goes to bed at 7 and wakes around 6. I agree with PP that if you want her to sleep longer you'd need to try and get her to bed later. If we go for any later than 7, our DD becomes overtired and is up even earlier. So we are just waiting for her to be able to stay up longer and hope that she will naturally shift her bedtime herself when she's ready. We've tried everything under the sun to get her to sleep in longer and it just doesn't work, so we just get her in earlier which ensures she gets enough hours of sleep! She uses a sleep trainer clock which has a traffic light system. So even though she's awake at 6, her clock is still in sleeping mode and she knows that we are still sleeping at this point. It turns yellow at 6:30 at which point she knows she can call out for us and my husband will go and play with her or read to her in her bed. At 7, the clock finally turns green and she knows she can come out of her bed. Seems to work well unless she's starving!

As pp said.Bedtime is too early.Id try 7.30

Thanks for all the comments. I'll try adjusting bedtime and see how we get on.

She's got a good diet with plenty of activity and goes to preschool 3 x a week so I'm not concerned there. The sleep consultant was a hangover from when she was tiny and I asked a friend (sleep consultant) for advice. He would always say an earlier bedtime, suggesting she's overtired, so we've been trying that but now she's older it just isn't working. I wondered whether to attempt to reinstate the nap maybe for an hour and then she would last longer in the evening but as no one has suggested that I'll attempt the later bed and see. Thanks all.
