Early wake ups

I feel your pain. Mine is the same! He was also waking constantly during the night sleeping no more than a hour. He has just started sleeping a little later though until almost 6am. The health visitor gave me a list of ‘sleepy’ foods to try before bed. I also made sure we had a very good routine. And get out every day. So mine will now have a small nap for about 40mins around 9-10am he’ll usually have a long afternoon nap (only if he’s cuddled up to me) around 1-3 which gives me some chill time before the big boy gets back from school. I was doing his dinner around 4.30 but I’ve noticed if I do it at like 5.30ish he is sleeping better. We then start getting ready for bed around 7pm and he’s usually down by 7.30-8ish. He dosent yet self settle so he’ll fall asleep in my arms and I’ll put him down. He’s now in a toddler bed too which I fine helps him sleep better. I wouldn’t recommend a toddler bed at this age though. I’m pregnant again and couldn’t get mine into the cot asleep anymore.

We kept having 4-5am wakes which became a habit. We did stir to sleep 3-4hrs after waking for a week which made a small improvement then for 5 days set an alarm at 4am and did stir to sleep and now wakes at 6-6.30… still early but liveable x

what's stir to sleep? X

Pop into room, if they stir when the door opens e.g. move their head, limbs etc. then you leave.
If not, you put hand on back, then stroke hair, then cheek etc. and as soon as they stir you leave the room.
I can’t remember the reasoning why it helps sorry! x
