Early mornings getting me down!

Hi.
I dont no what to do anymore. My 13 month old wakes anywhere be between 5 and 5.40 mostly nearer 5. He goes to bed at 7 although have tried pushing it back but didnt really work. I go to bed early my husband and I take it in turns but I its starting to get me really down even when he gets up. I go through what I did yesterday to why hes woken up later or earlier. Its pitch black in his room. Heating coming on some mornings. I hate the in continuity of it all. I went to bed at 9.30 last night and he woke at 5 i fed him in a desperate need to go back to sleep and he just chatted until he got upset. Yesterday he slept till 5.40 why later? I analyse every thing. The one thing i have noticed is that he eill happierly go down for naps in the cot in the day but if we are out he will happily stay awake. For instance yesterday he had half an hour at about 9 in car and then was fine until left about 3.30 and slept im car for an hour. If I am in he will go for a 1-2 hr nap at 9 then either a car nap in pm if im out or cot if im in. Nothing makes much difference but wondered i should not let him sleep so much in the day. Ahhh my head will explode. I think its having 2 children so im so tired from running around all day. I dunno. My 4 year old woke really early and i think it slowly started to improve once she was walking. My baby crawls loads in the day. Anyway I just need a rant some ppl that might understand how much it takes over your head. My friends who have children that do it say im not strict enough and i should leave him etc
.. I can still hear him im still awake!! Thanks for reading xxx

I’m not saying you do leave him, I just mean regarding your friends’ advice. And putting earplugs in to ignore him.
