My first DD was up at 6ish for a long time when she was younger, now she's nearly 3 and wakes between 6.30 and 7.30. Today it was 6.30 for both my tots!
Some children are just early risers. A friend of mine used to get a lot done in the 2hrs from when she got up with her youngest son to when the rest of the family woke up. She may just be going through a phase and might settle down again soon though - but its hard to say. Not what you want to hear though I bet LOL.
Oh you dont want to hear that she'll drop her day sleeps in the next few month then either do you
Or you could always think yourself lucky - Im jealous she doesnt wake through the night like Vy has done since she was 15 months old.
My second eldest use to go to sleep at 2am and then wake at 5.30,,,ow that was a joy. If any of my kids wake early I take it as an opportunity to get something done without 4 kids hanging of me...even if its sitting and folding the washing.
She's probably sencing that your about to have the baby too...I swear girls do stupid things to us when were pg
Sorry Tan, but they're all different, my son has always been an early riser, between 5am-5:30am everyday he's now 3.5 years old! My daughter wasa always around the 7am-8am riser until about 6months ago when she started to get up at 5:30am-6am she'll be 6 next month!
Arrrrrrrgggghhhh I knew it! Maz - she still has 2 day sleeps, one she occasionally won't go down for but is soooo tired if she doesn't have it, but if she wakes early like she did today she still needs both naps!
Ok, so Im am going to be glad she sleeps through and it isn't 4-5am! Lots of people have said they pick up on the pregnancy - interesting to see what will happen when this little guy actually gets here!
DS1 has been wakinng around 5.30am since he was around 22 months. It's a killer atm as I'm up feeding DS2 at 1.30am and 4.30am, so am often just getting back to sleep when DS1 comes into my room! So I just stick on a dvd for him, make him some toast, turn the heater up and go back to bed!
Okay you're all FREAKING ME OUT! I cannot bear the thought of a 5am start EVERY DAY! Please, please may my little one always think that it's cool to sleep until 7 or 8
I agree they sometimes regress a bit when there's another baby on the way - my DD did and she was 2.5 so I was surprised. She'd been sleeping through the night, 13 hours a night, every night since about 9 months. About a month after DS came home she started waking during the night. We had no idea what had happened, it went on for months and months and only in the last month or so has she started sleeping through again every night. It nearly did our heads in, but looking back it was the only hiccup we had with her so we consider ourselves pretty lucky, I think she adjusted pretty well overall to her brother joining the family. She had other big changes around the same time too like changing bedrooms, moving to a big bed from her toddler bed, starting preschool etc.
Hang in there, it might just be a phase - I can't believe she's still doing two day sleeps, I think you're very lucky!! LOL.
