So my 17 month old went through a waking early phase for months and months and waking at night. I got strict and started to put him for naps after lunch instead of morning and it really worked. He would go till 6-6.30. The last few days he has woken at 5am for the day. I am trying to leave him but he gets quite loud and chatty. I dunno why this is happening but don't wana get back into this early thing again. He has started crying himself to sleep at night as I don't think he wants to stop stories and is more aware. He also quite often finds it hard to stay awake all morning. If we are out in morning he tends to cat nap on way to somewhere then down for afternoon sleep at 1ish where he might cry himself to sleep. Do u think this is causing early wake ups as he used to happierly go to bed but obviously more aware now. I hate it when u think u have cracked it and wana no what has happened to make him wake early again. I worked so hard to get him to 6-6.30. I have a 4 year old and they share a room so there is only so long I can leave him in the morning. Thankyou
