waking early

keyshahart

My LO is 14 months and recently over the past week has been waking 2 hours early at 530am. She has been sleeping from 8pm-730am for about 5 months and has 2 naps a day. When she wakes early I feed her a bottle and change her diaper and she will go back to sleep with no fuss until 830 so she is clearly still tired. I have tried cutting down to one nap (made her miserable) and changing her bedtime earlier and she wakes a little later at 6, but same thing, will take a bottle and back to sleep. I was just wondering is this is a phase or anyone else had something similar happens. No changes lately, shes been walking for a month and been in a big bed for a month as well. Thanks!

is she crying? what happens if you leave her to fall back asleep on her own? i'd try that, b/c now she's going to get used to you and the bottle and keep waking up early.

i would have suggested dropping to one nap and switching to really early bedtime and doing it for at least a week or two. it can take awhile for babies to adjust to changes in sched like that.

my first dropped to one nap around 13.5 months although the second lasted until 15/16 months.
