Early rising toddler- wake to sleep? Yes or no?

He's always been up early 6am was the norm, 630 was a lie in. But now we are seeing in too many 5/530's and yesterday was 430.

The room is dark and quiet so he has clearly got in a bad habit. He goes to bed at7 and asleep no later than 730, ever. We tried a later bedtime, no difference, and same for an earlier one.

We tried knocking out his remaining 1 hour nap (he's 2.5) but he's very full on and can't cope. He also falls asleep by9am within minutes of being in car if we go off for the day, so clearly is exhausted.

We also have a 5 mo old I am still feeding at least twice a night, so I need some sleep!

Tonight I am planning in waking him when I feed the baby, probably around 2/3 am. Am I mad?

I am getting very desperate.... Help!

Ha! You can't fix their body clocks- although I would love 630, would be a treat.

I have opted for a late afternoon nap today and let him snooze, he had about 1.45 and bed at 730, although he asked to go at 630!? I was living in fear he'd wake at 4am again though. God knows.
