Early Riser 😩

Morning! This is my first time posting...

My 19 month old is a super early riser.... The last week it's been 4-4:30.... I'm asking for any help / suggestions to get him to sleep a bit longer... Now I feel bad for complaining when he used to wake at 5:30!! Seems like a lay in now!

It feels like DH and I have tried EVERYTHING... later bed time, earlier bedtime, cut down nap length, kept him busy, let him nap for 2 hours.... I don't know if there's anything else we can try.... Or whether to just count our lucky starts he sleeps through from 7:30.

If we leave him, he screams and gets hysterical, if we go in and try to lay him back down or tell him it's bedtime, he gets hysterical... He won't lay back down, just cries and gets worse and worse. All he seems to want is a cuddle.... So we bring him into our bed, he's fallen back to sleep for an hour twice in the last week but that's it....

I know it won't last forever but it kills me some mornings and other mornings I'm fine??

Any help would be appreciated and well done if you've read this far 😀 xx

Can you not skip the baby group just for this morning and leave the errands until naptime/afternoon to capitalise on this?

Could do. I go with my friend but My back is playing up anyway so might use it as an excuse 😊

Plus it'll probably go out the window tomorrow as hubby has arranged lunch with friends 30mins away to start at 12!! Might get him to sit in the back to keep baby awake! Xx
