My 23 month old has been waking up at around 4am for nearly a year now. He goes to bed at 7pm every night after dinner, bath and milk. And for some reason he wakes up between 4am - 5:30am, normally closer to 4. He goes to bed fine and doesn’t wake up during the night.
He’s our second child, our first child had the same rountine and had always slept a good 12 / 13 hours a night. We ridged for routines, but this time it’s not working.
We’ve tried leaving him to cry and it’s gets louder and in the end he wakes our eldest. We’ve brought him into our bed and that fails as he just wants to go downstairs.
By 9am he’s shattered.
He still has 1 nap, but only 1 hour max, normally in the morning due to being tired.
Any help or tips?
