advice for early mornings!

[botanicalmum]

Have ds1 23months and ds2 10months who sleep in the same room, both seem to like company. Problem is ds2 is waking up for the day between 4 - 5.30am, this morning it was 4.10am, luckily he slept through night which has only happened twice recently as going through mega teething session as all teeth coming through at once - still waiting first one! How do I keep him from waking so early? Already have blackout blinds and is in a growbag.

Sorry but sometimes you just can't! My dcs are early wakers but now they are older they just amuse themselves quietly in their rooms until we wake up.

No doubt people will be here with more practical suggestions soon, but none of them ever worked for me - I think it's just genetic.

agree you can't. Well, I can't. Have tried for 6 years. My solution is for me to go to bed early

not what I wanted to hear, arghhhh! but luckily i am a morning person - just not that early and ds1 sleeps later, perhaps I just better keep hoping.....

The only way I managed to get dd out of the early morning habit was to leave her to cry. Now I have ds waking early and they both share a room so I'm resigned to getting up at the crack of dawn. I'm usually in bed asleep by 10pm at the latest.

Me too - can't get dd to sleep past 5.30am at the mo... Completely agree with Liath - 10pm bedtimes for parents.... I can't even manage a film on the telly in the evenings these days!!!
