So my little man has always woke early - but recently since dropping to one nap at 14 months the morning wake up time gradually moved from 5am to 6am. With 6am bring a consistent wake time (fine with that).
Recently this wake he’s been waking 4.45/5am suddenly. He has been unwel with a cold cough etc, but he’s had loads of colds recently and never woke early.
usually he wakes 6am
naps 11.45-1.30 ish
bedtime 6.45/7pm
recently he’s been waking 5am
naps 11/11.30 ish for an hour
Wakes crying as tired but won’t go back off because of cold
bedtime 6.30 ish
not sure if this is a regression due to illness but like I said we haven’t had EMW the last times he’s been ill. Or I don’t know if something needs adjusting now he’s closer to 2.
also started childcare a few weeks ago so this could be contributing.
any tips? Thanks!
