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 Not sure if you’re in the states, but I’d suck it up until daylight savings time.

Also, given the age, he’s probably teething.

 

[rtjmrt]

@layk We’re not in daylight savings times lmao

@rtjmrt The clocks move ahead March 10th. A month from now 6:30am will be 7:30am and that would basically solve your problem.

Otherwise I assume he’s teething and is waking up earlier because he’s uncomfortable.

 

[rtjmrt]

@layk No it just made me laugh bc I feel like it’s such an American problem answer. Like he’s probably getting up because of our healthcare system. Or he prob fussy first thing because of inflation lolol thank you for that

I guess you’re right that will help but this month will blow ass.

@rtjmrt Just so you know something like 70 countries follow daylight savings.

Same issues here in Canada, my cat never seems to adjust

 

[rtjmrt]

@kikirip Why am I getting down voted? I thought it was a hilarious answer lol

 

[layk]

@rtjmrt Because you got a helpful suggestion and were rude about it and your responses are bizarre.

I said he’s probably teething, and suggested you let him wake up at 6:30 because daylights savings is approaching and what time he wakes up will be back to his normal time after that.

What exactly is hilarious to you?

@rtjmrt You didn’t read the comment properly. CNDRock16 isn’t suggesting your child is waking up early and cranky because of daylight savings but merely suggesting that in a month they will go back to waking up at their “normal” time when daylight savings happens.

@rtjmrt If you were somewhere that recognizes daylight savings time, then in about a month your baby would be waking up at the time but now the clock would read 7:30am rather than 6:30am. Explaining in case you weren’t following. It’s great you found it hilarious but it was a practical and applicable response.

@rtjmrt Ours went from waking up happy at 7:30 to grumpy at 5:00. After a few weeks of rough mornings, we started rocking her a little if she woke up too early and we could generally get another hour + of sleep.

That said, I think 6:45 is a pretty reasonable wake up time for toddlers. In fact, we consider that sleeping in now!

 

[rtjmrt]

@graces It’s definitely fine, but I feel like something must be wrong for how abrupt the change has been! Like, if it was a gradual transition, I would understand more, but going from happy, then two hours earlier, almost and being really crabby and crying, was kind of jarring

@rtjmrt Toddlerhood is so unpredictable. On one hand they thrive on routine, on the other they frequently say FUCK THE ROUTINE! And we have to pivot. It’s hard!
