My 14.5 month old was sleeping until 8/830 some days I even had to wake him up, suddenly it’s religiously 6:45 am wake up

[rtjmrt]

Whhhhhhhhhhhhyyyyyyyy he was sleeping so great and would sleep until 8-8:30 everyday. The occasional 7:30. I even sometimes would need to wake him up. He’d wake up and roll around happy for a moment and we’d let him have a sec and then go get him. Always happy!
Nothing has changed but now suddenly it’s between 6:30-6:45 am wake up everyday and he wakes up upset and crying. What the hell is going on?

Okay seriously I have no issue waking up at 6:30 or 645, so acting like I’m complaining about it being early is a little much. I’m concerned about the fact that he went from happy to hysterically, crying, and that there wasn’t a gradual transition and that it’s so abrupt and I’m worried something is wrong.

@rtjmrt Just dropping in to tell you that my daughter woke up at 5:15 every day from like nine to 15 months

 

[lucymarie]

@doppel lol I also had a 5am waker from 7-20 months… she randomly one day 2 weeks ago started waking up at 7 and then the past week it’s been down to 6:30 hoping we can get it back to 7!!!!

 

[jasonspence]

@doppel Mine is two and still wakes up every morning at 5am. I’d kill for 6:45

 

[joalves]

@jasonspence Me too

 

[davedmorgane]

@doppel Lol mine too. 5am checking in here. Now it’s closer to 7am and it feels like a dream!

 

[doppel]

@davedmorgane Yes! She’s almost three and gets up anywhere from 6 to 7 now. So much better!

 

[rtjmrt]

@doppel Okay lol

 

[matt97]

@rtjmrt Is he still on two naps? Our kids cut down to one around that time as it shifted their sleep around a bit. Their bedtime also nudged later.

 

[65james]

@matt97 This was my question as well, maybe baby is ready for one nap?

 

[rtjmrt]

@matt97 We’re going to take a shot at one nap again today, but sometimes when we’ve done one nap, he’s just absolutely falling apart by the end of the day, and then will even wake up in the middle of the night, babies are very confusing

 

[not2gr8t]

@rtjmrt The transition from 2-1 naps is hard. Earlier bedtime for the first little while with just one nap. Watch your wake windows.

 

[openheart19]

@rtjmrt What time is he going to sleep at night?

 

[rtjmrt]

@openheart19 830!

 

[believerben]

@rtjmrt I do 9:30pm and he wakes up around 8:30-9:30. Nap 2:45-5p

I also don’t start our day until 9am if it’s before that I’m taking my pillow and comforter in the play pen or I’ll let him flop around in my bed

 

[rtjmrt]

@believerben lol I can’t keep my son in my bed he wants to roll and climb down. My husband and I definitely like to have time at night time so I think 930 would be too late for us because we like to go to bed at like 10 lol

@rtjmrt Wait till the dreaded 4am toddler wide eyed amd bushy tail days. Just when you think they are sleeping good..... they decide nope... today is the day to sing with the birds.

 

[joalves]

@deusvult92 My toddler every day for the past 10 months. 6am is a lie in for us now

 

[deusvult92]

@joalves One of the more bigger reasons why we moved bedtime to 930.... mom and dad need sleep...he sleeps all the way to 630am... good enough.

 

[rtjmrt]

@deusvult92 Oh no
