23 month old still not sleeping

[whymewhyme]

So, this have probably been done to death!! my LB is 23 months we have just had one whole month of sleeping thought till 6 am( lucky me) he is usually a multiple waker and he is also a early riser usually 5am anyway, he started waking twice a night again and waking for the morning at 5 and and sometimes 4am. Nothing has changed in his routine at all he isn't teething and he isn't unwell.

He goes down at 7pm by this time he's shattered, he has one story read to him and we leave him awake and he goes to sleep by himself. He wakes usually twice or occasionally he sleeps till 4am and wants to get up then and spends 2 hrs shouting till I get up. I don't
go in to him at all unless he really kicks off even when he wakes at 4/5 I don't get him out of bed till 5.45 he just sounds " mummy daddy" so bloody tired!!!!!!

Because he's up so many times and so early by 9am he's absolutely know how, totally tired, moaning and crying and falling over so I have to put him to bed, he's asleep in minutes and will have 2hrs and won't have another sleep until bedtime at 7.

Do I need to move the nap?? Any tip and advice welcome!

Our DD went through this phase, and as hard as it was because she was tired, I gradually moved that morning nap until she was just having an afternoon nap and then going to bed.
So for example, instead of putting her down at 9 I would be put her down at 09:30 then the next day push it again to 10 and eventually she was going down just for her regular lunch time nap and sleeping in until around 7. Not to mention it meant her lunch time nap was 2 hours instead of 30/45 minutes.

I would also maybe say he could be overtired by 7pm. Our DD always slept worse when she was overtired so you could also try bringing his bedtime forward to 6:30.

Thank you for your replies, both really good advice
