3.5 year old waking early

[smashedavocadoontoast]

Just wondering what time the early morning wakings stopped for you all? I know they are all different....Clutching at straws....

Never. My DD woke at about 4-30am every single day. We put block-out curtains in her room, gave her a Gro-Clock to show her that it wasn't time to get up yet. Nothing helped. She is 9 now and still does it. These days we've given in - she has an iPad and she watches movies and TV shows until it's a "normal" hour. She is fine at school, and goes to bed at the same time as her late-sleeping brother . You can't fight nature !

Nooooo. You aren’t meant to say that! You were meant to say they start sleeping through very soon and it will happen! . Thank goodness for the iPad then birdie!

On the days my 3 yo is t in nursery, he wakes anywhere between 9:30 and 10:30 however to get this result I had to bump back his bedtime by an hour - makes no difference to him, he doesn't get overtired in that time and will fight for at least half an hour about going to bed whatever time I try to make it happen! From an early age I tried to encourage lie ins (by using a later bedtime) and would usually bring him into bed with me if he woke before a time I deemed acceptable! Generally now, if he wakes at 9:30 I'll turn the tv on in my room so I can get a few more minutes whilst knowing he is there with me and not roaming the house.
