When my LO is waking up at 5 it almost always means he had a crappy nap the day before. I know it sounds crazy, but try an earlier bedtime for a few days and see what happens. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-my-toddler-to-wake-up-later#post-2038016 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 16:24:15 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2038016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish I had advice! Those early wakings have got to be SO ROUGH! Hang in there. I have heard that rising too early is a really common problem, and it's one of the hardest to fix.</p> <p>My girls wake up at 8:00 or 8:30, but they don't go to bed until 9:00. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-my-toddler-to-wake-up-later#post-2038012 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 16:22:22 +0000 missifu 2038012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a very active 17 month old baby. His bedtime is anywhere between 6:40-7 (usually closer to 7). </p> <p>At daycare, he naps anywhere from 1.5-3 hours per day. The routine is set in stone and he usually goes down after lunch between 11:40-12 every day.</p> <p>He used to wake up around 6 every day, but it is now consistently at 5. This is really tough for us, especially for me since I am 15 weeks pregnant. </p> <p>I have tried pushing his bedtime back, but he just can't handle it. He brings me his blankie and asks to be breastfed and falls asleep. I have tried pushing it forward to 6:30, and he still wakes up close to 5. I have also noticed that it really makes no difference whether he has napped 1.5 hours or more a daycare. This is such a mystery to me.</p> <p>Also, on a side note, at daycare he doesn't take his nap until after lunch. Sometimes during the weekends, he will ask to breastfeed at 9:30 and fall asleep for about 40 minutes. I can usually get him to go down again around 1 for another hour or a bit more, but thought he'd adopt the same nap schedule at home too! What I'd do for a three hour nap on a weekend!</p> <p>Thanks in advance! </p>
