If we can hold out til daylight savings we'll be all set.  But holy....

at least it's a big stretch before that but still.  eeewwwwwwwww

WOW! That is early. We are having the opposite happen. P is sleeping until 8:30 (and not 7:30) since we have been back from vacation. Naps have been a little less though, 2 hours (instead of 3), but I'm not complaining.

When is DST anyway?

How long are you waiting before going in?  Have you tried to just let your child play in the crib to see if they will fall back asleep.

Wow, and I was sitting here feeling sorry for myself because A woke up crying at 5 and then was up for the day at 7. I've become such a wimp since he started STTN!

the 3.5 year old wakes up usually b/c she just wet her pullup and can't get back to sleep.  She's PT, has been for months now, but sleeps too heavily to notice at night.  We limit liquid close to bed, have her go.. not much else we can do there until she's ready

the 1.5 year old is getting his canines right now and is an early riser to start with.  He'll lose his pacifier & fuss, pass back out a few times.  We leave him be a few minutes, believe me.  But anything after 4-430am he's just UP.  We give more motrin, sometimes try a bottle if he's acting hungry.. nada.  Little turd didn't STTN til 16m due to ear issues, this is still heaven but man, sucky lol

Does the 1.5 y/o have room darkening shades in his room so that way he can't see that it's morning yet?  Hopefully, once his teeth break through he'll give you a little more time to sleep.   The 3.5 y/o situation is totally understandable, so she of course must be attended to.  Hang in there, it does get better.

KoriBrett

Yep, pitch black in his room.  We've tried a nightlight, no light, etc

Yeah, it gets better, I know.  3 nights in a row this week & I just need a nap!  Thanks :-)
