Both my girls have always been early risers. They have been waking at 5am typically. But ever since DST, DD2 (almost 19m) has been waking up at 4am a few times. For the day. 
It's probably a phase, but gosh it sucks hard right now. 
Anyone else have very early risers??

I did for a LONG time. Between 4 and 5 and after a lot of work we got it to 5:30. We used dst to push back bedtime 1 hr and now she stays in her crib until 6:30. That is the only thing that ever worked

I do. Used to get up between 5-6 am every day. Luckily for us after DST DD is now sleeping until about 615 every morning. I don't mind during the work week but the weekends are really really tough!!

Our LO did this from maybe 17-20 months, waking up between 4-5. It passed!! Hang in there!

We did! DS just started sleeping until 6/6:30 around Xmas, but he was an early riser for a long time. It sucks!

6:00 is our norm, so anything past I am a very happy mom!
For her it doesn't matter if I put her down at 7,7:45,8 it is always 6!

I used to! she regularly woke up between 4:30 and 5:30 for motnhs. but then dh started going in instead of me, and she would go back to sleep for him. now she rarely wakes then--she usually sleeps until about 6:30

Both of my kids went through phases of waking really early. There were days when R was around 6-8 months when he would wake overnight AND wake for the day at 4:45. Brutal!
Mostly, T wakes at 7, but he doesn't nap. R usually wakes between 6-630, but today it was 545...

I def went through phases! Never 4am but def have had 5 and 6am wake-ups. Currently she tends to wake up 6-6:30... She goes to bed pretty early ever since she went down to 1 nap but that nap is on the early side still.

Both my kids are early risers. My 3 year old is trained not to make noise or leave her room until the green light comes on at 6am. She's usually up by 5:30. It's a struggle to get my 9 month old to sleep past 4:30.
I battled early wake up a lot with LO1. Eventually I gave in and accepted them (within reason) and I've been a lot happier. I make my coffee, turn on a show for me, and play with the baby. I don't start being productive until 6am. I miss sleep but I enjoy the baby time.
