Omg so my 3.5yo was up at 5.30am today!! Tried to get him to nap after lunch but he wouldn't. He's then fallen asleep at 5pm after dinner. Literally fell asleep on the sofa so I had to put him down

Is it gonna be a super early start tomo and will it last all week now? Anyone who's been there and can give stories please help lol

Get him up at 7 for a snack and drink, wake him for a bit with a bath and bedtime routine then back down at 8-9ish,should reset him to hopefully make it later tomorrow morning!

I would wake him up right now and then put him to bed at his normal time or maybe half an hour before otherwise I expect he'll be up at the crack of dawn.

Agree with the posts above. Wake him now/within 20 mins, and then put to bed 'properly' around 8pm.

Well I decided to follow my instincts and let him sleep and wake when he was ready. 13 hours later he was up at 5.40 so not bad at all

I was just going to say DD did this earlier this week and I thought we would have a crazy early start but it was ok actually and she slept through til half six (she is almost two). I think sometimes they are exhausted and do sleep through (I was worried about a five am start though!)
