My two year old has suddenly started waking very very upset at 5am - 5:30am. I’m exhausted. Pls help, don’t know if it’s a sign of toddler over tiredness, or too much sleep, or simply separation anxiety. I know the symptoms are hard to tell apart in toddlers.
Until two weeks ago he was sleeping an 11 hr night with a 1.5 hour nap (2 at weekends; it’s hard to wake him)
At the 5am wake he’s bawling and reaching out his arms. He can settle with a cuddle on the floor or chair until 6:30 when he wants to get up. He’s very tired by bedtime and we find we cannot push a later bedtime than 7:30pm.
help!
