So nice to hear that we are not the only family that are going through the waking early problem!!! My DS use to sleep for 12 to 13 hours a nite but over the last month has started waking early (anything from 4.30am!). We have DD who is 5 years old and a fairly light sleeper so I am constantly listening for DS thro the night and fly out of bed as soon as DS makes a sound!!! Normally I end up in the spare bed with DS just to try and grab some extra sleep. I know I shouldn't do this but DD started school this year and needs her sleep. I have read on another thread that trying to shorten or push back morning nap to encourage longer nap at lunch time. Going to give it a go but any other suggestions gratefully received. Thanks
