5:45am!!!!!!

My daughter gets up between 6-7am however recently it’s earlier and earlier, don’t get me wrong I’m a morning person and don’t mind being up, but just struggling a bit now especially as I have a 3 month old who wakes once in the night. I told her this morning at 5:45 its way to early to be awake and she needed to go back to bed, she got upset but went, am I being a mean mum if I tell her to go back to her room till it’s more of a reasonable time anything after 6:30??? I know they have kids clocks designed for this 😂 she’s been brilliant at going to bed without a black out blind either and I’m grateful that she’ll sleep no matter how light however I’m thinking I might need to get it back up but then I’m worried I’ll create an issue that she can only fall asleep in dark, her bedtime is 7pm it always has been and never been an issue, she can’t cope after 7pm tbh, but yeah am I a meany for making her go back to bed?!!!!!!! 🩷🩷🩷

Could It just be temporary with the light change? My girl did this for a week when it was sunny early then went back to normal. But yeah it's totally okay to be a 'mean mummy' sometimes. I usually say 'it's still sleep time, I love you ill be back a bit later' my girl moans but usually either starts chatting to herself quietly or gets back to sleep. If she cries ill go lay with her or just accept defeat that day but she doesn't do it often at all

I say the same to my Feb 22 baby like nah its not awake time yet. Also wonder about a gro clock think so she has a visual x

She’s been totally fine and we didn’t have any issues with clock change luckily just been the last week or so!!! Yeah I think I have to remind myself that even though I have to be ‘mean’ sometimes, at least she’s going back to her bedroom with teddys, stories and her tonie box which I would have no issue with her playing with until it’s a reasonable time! Xx

My girl has started doing this too. She generally comes into my bed and I just keep telling her to sleep more. Sometimes I can get another hour or so from her if she falls back to sleep. I wonder what it is!

I got a zeepy clock for my daughter. And she knows if the cat is still asleep (yellow face) its not time to get up yet. It works 95% of the time.

@Scarlett ohhh I might have a look into that xxx

5:30 this morning, give me strength it’s going to be a long day!
