Waking up too early?

in Toddlers: 24 Months+

Hi there! I have a question about my daughter who's 28 months now. 

She goes to sleep at 8. She gets her teeth brushed, I read her a book, tuck her in, the whole nine. She used to sleep at LEAST until 7...sometimes even until 7:30, and she still does this, but not as often as she used to.

Now, she's waking up at 5:30 or 6-6:30 and even though I am usually gone by then, DH is complaining. The Nanny comes at 7 and my husband starts getting ready at 6:30 and my daughter keeps waking him up. She refuses to go back down, too. She just wants to get out.

Anyone go/going through this? Thoughts?

THANKS!

Julia

    It could be developmental. Jacob's been waking up early too, sometimes 4:30 or 5, and I can usually get him back down, but if it's 5:30 or 6, he's up for good. He's always been an early riser, and early to bed. We've bene trying to push his bedtime back to 8, which normally he's down by 7:30. Sorry, no great answers! Maybe soon she'll go back to her normal routine. Can you put some books/toys in with her to keep her occupied while you're dh gets ready? Jacob is usually good for a little while if I can't get him out right away.

    No advice here, but I am so glad you posted this.  My DD is doing the same thing.  It has recently became a problem because she moved up to the toddler class at daycare and she can't nap whenever she wants.  They don't nap until 11:30 or so and she can't make it to lunch when she gets up at 5am!  I don't know what to do...I was going to call my pedi.  Maybe someone on here can help us!

    Does she have stuff to do in her room to keep her entertained?

    Have you tried putting a small light on a timer in her room and say that she's not allowed to leave her room until it's on?

    Or how about setting up a little table in her room with non-perishable foods - dry Cheerios, etc. - and some water so she can have a snack in the morning?

    She is still in a crib, but she has some stuffed animals in there and a book I read to her before bed.

    I might do some snacks or water, that's a good idea, thank you!

    I also like the idea of a previous poster...about a light that's on a timer!
