Early morning wakings

Hi all. My DD is 8 months old we are currently in the transaction from 3 to 2 naps but everyday is different at the minute and sometimes will not sleep long enough in the afternoon to get her through to bed time. Over the past week or so instead of waking between 7-7:30 she’s been waking 6-6:30 now I know it’s not too early still but she’s not near the recommended sleeping hours when she’s waking early. Is there any advice as to what I can do to get her to wake at 7 again?

As you say, she is in a transition with her naps so I wouldn’t worry about it. She’ll settle again. On the days that she struggles to get through to bedtime just bring it forward by half an hour. She might wake up a bit earlier but as she settles into the new nap pattern she’ll find her “normal“ again. And they do go through periods of waking earlier off and on anyway. My DS normally wakes around 7 but he had two bad patches of teething lasting a few weeks each (molars) when he woke very early, but then one morning just went back to normal again.
