22 month old getting up at 4.30am... HELP!!!!!!!!

[Artechim]

I have DD in a bed and she went from sleeping until 7ish (in bed with me) to waking at 5-5.30am. There is no way she will go back to sleep, just lucky for me that DH is up at that time for work so I don't have to deal with her!

We do have a good night routine - always have with dinner, play, bath, books, bed - he loves his night routine.
he doesnt always eat all his dinner - sometimes none at all if he is v tired from daycare - but he eats well generally. I havent noticed a massive difference if he eats a lot at night, but will try that more (we have a nanny starting 2 days a week next week so he can eat earlier those days).
Hmmm - I am in no way an early riser - I hope I havent bred one!!!!!
Any other tips welcome, we might try the bed... but i am worried it will make it worse!!
Though how much worse than 4.30ish can it get??!!!

mp- what time does he go to bed?

I would say he is asleep by 7.20 most nights - he has one day sleep in the middle of the day.
