we did the alarm clock for DD1 when she turned 3, just blanked out the minute numbers and told her when she saw the number 7 she could get out of bed.. she still lives by that rule
I have no tips... DS1 is in bed by 7:30pm and up at 4-5am, even if I put him to bed at midnight he will still be up between 4 and 5am. If we get to 6am that's a sleep in
DS2 is a little better, he goes to bed at the same time as DS1, usually wakes once or twice overnight and gets up around 7am.
DS isn't a toddler, 6 months, but the same thing has been happening here.... up until now he's woken at 6.50am on the dot, but for a week or so it's been between 5 and 6. Not sure what it is! Still, I know how lucky I am to have him sleep 6.30-6 anyway I'm wondering if it's because we're having a little nap in bed after he's woken up and had a feed- so he's not actually getting 'up' until 7.30-8ish. So today have started getting up at 7 again, will see if that makes a difference.
