15 month old wakes for the day at 4am

I've posted about her early wakes before, and I am posting again because I feel so frustrated and alone. My daughter is 15 months and routinely wakes at 4 or 4:30am for the day. Sometimes even 3:45am. There is no resettling! She just screams bloody murder until we get her up. I try changing her diaper, giving a bottle, stay and support, Ferber. Nothing works. She just screams and screams and then needs a nap around 8am because she is shattered. Bedtime is 6pm because she is so tired- usually has two 45 min naps during the day. I'm struggling so much and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I think you'd need to give it at least a week of consistently pushing the whole routine back to know if it's making a difference. The early morning nap will be contributing to an early morning waking so definitely avoid napping before 11 and don't put her in the car or buggy if you're trying to avoid her falling asleep.

Was the norm for us. It’s brutal.

You need to stop the morning nap, and push bedtime later. She’s getting too much sleep.

You need to start pushing her morning nap later….

Too much sleep? It says 13 hours total for her age so that’s what she’s getting overall
