My lg is 3 years 5 months old and this week has decided to give up her dummies to the dummy fairy all by herself. She’s done well settling for bed and hasn’t asked for it. However when she had the dummy she would go to sleep between 7-7:30 and wake at 6;30. Since giving up the dummy she’s waking at 5 or even this morning 4:45 and can’t settle back down. Her room is dark. We’ve been getting up with her when it’s clear she’s not going back to sleep but I think that has reinforced the early morning wake.
Anyone have any ideas how to get past this early morning wake? She is still tired and yawning. She’s cranky by the end of the day but I don’t want to bring bedtime forward in case this also reinforces the early morning.
