She goes down at 7pm and usually is up between 6:30/7:30am. She transitioned to a toddler bed in early January pretty seemlessly.</p> <p>The last 2 weeks she has been waking up at 5:45am...because she poops...She doesnt want to go back to sleep in a poopy diaper (I totally get this and dont blame her). My options have been:</p> <p>1) Leave her in there...she'll sit and play and what not until I go in to get her at like 7am.<br /> 2) Go in an change her then tell her its still night nights...she usually is quiet for a short period (10 mins or so) then goes back to playing.<br /> 3) just get up with her and pray for a better nap?</p> <p>I am 9 mos preggo with #2...and my last few hours of sleep in the morning are the best so this has been devastating! Any advice? Suggestions?</p> <p>Presumably there is no way to get her not to poop right? Like through diet changes or anything? </p>
