Hello all
My 2 yo son (26 months) has recently started waking early (usually around 6, but today it was 5.25am). This has been going on for about 5 weeks. There's a couple of things which may have contributed to this - I'm 36 weeks pg and he went into a toddler bed about 8 weeks ago (though he's still in a sleeping bag).
We put a stairgate on his bedroom door and a few (quiet) toys in his room to try to keep him quiet in the mornings. We also got a "Carz" clock which changes colour when it's time to wake up (and told him to stay in his room quietly till it changes).
This doesn't seem to be making any difference.
I'm prepared to try almost anything. DD went through the same thing but I think we just left her to it. I tried that this morning but I was so tired (been up since 3.30 as baby was kicking a lot) that I ended up cuddling him and staying in his room for ages till about 6.15 when i started to do quiet returning.
I can cope w leaving him to cry (I know it's not for everyone though) I just don't know if it'll help as he seems really awake when I go in.
