Help! My 17 month old has been waking up five or even earlier for about the past two weeks. Before that she was sleeping from 7 PM to 6 AM. I'm fine waking at six but five is horrible! My first inclination was that she was overtired because of going from two naps to one, so I tried putting her down earlier from 6-630. When that didn't work, I started putting her down later, with mixed results. She did sleep until six the two days we put her down at 7:45. Last night I put her down at 7:30 and she woke up at 4:45 this morning.

If I just go in and tell her it's still night time and try to get her to go back to sleep she won't. I go back to bed and ignore her and she whines, cries and says mama on and off for 45 mins after which my husband goes and gets her because he can't stand to let her cry for longer than 45 minutes.

I would try to switch her back to two naps but she is doing only one at daycare 2 days/week so I feel like that will mix her up more. Ideas?
