Hi ladies. Wow I'm exhausted. My 2 year old (he'll be 3 in July) has started waking up between 4am - 5am for the day!
He's in bed by about 7:10pm each night, & nursery have now started limiting his naps to 30 minutes.
He wakes quietly crying & calling for us. I've tried ignoring this but then he starts to properly cry, at which point of course one of us goes in.
When I tell him it's still night time and he needs to sleep, he starts hysterically crying. I try physically (but gently) putting him back to bed - I don't know if you've ever tried putting a thrashing toddler down & tucking in - impossible & he immediately gets out of bed again.
I bought a gro clock & used it for the first time today so I will persevere with this, but when they get up before desired wake up time, what do I do with him considering how hysterical he gets?!
I also have a 6 month old and I'm worried toddlers screaming will wake him. Funnily enough, the baby who I thought would cause me sleepless nights sleeps 6:30pm - 7am!!!!
Any advice welcome!
