so, if you had a ds (just turned 2) who woke at 5:30 or thereabouts every morning (and you'd tried everything that wise mners might advise wrt blackout blinds, noise, etc etc etc)...

... would you cut his nap right back, say to 45 mins or an hour?

no

yes

no

I would adjust bedtime to a bit later.

Yes

(I'd try anything, frankly)

no

I would think FFS when the alarm went off, fix a smile on my face and start my day

cbeebies is on at 6am you know

I fought this and then came to my senses, get up, start your day

I did a thread a while back

Yes.

yes, worth a try

(I was in same boat but got lucky with wise MNers - in our case it turned out to be the birds in the ivy making a racket.)

love your name btw.

Yes.

No

Yes, but that in fact is the length of nap he has anyway - 45 mins-1 hour. He sometimes does wake early anyway, which I reckon he will until he drops the nap altogether. What works best for him is loads of exercise and fresh air.

Sorry totally failed to keep it to yes/no

thanks all

keep em coming...

(tis tutter btw)

no

yes

yes

I blame tweeting birds

do you have a gun?

olive, what kind of int'l mouse of mystery would i be without a gun. eh eh?

yes (dd2 dropped her nap at 18 months)

yes, birds and bright sunlight

grrrrr

YES

wow enid

yes

without a second thought
