DS is 15 months old, naps 2-3 hours a day (1 nap), goes to bed around 8pm and has started waking up at 6 friggin o'clock in the morning. Has this happened to anyone else and do y'all have any suggestions to make it stop?
mine have always woken up at 6am (it;s when they wake up at 4:30-5ish that I think its a problem) maybe just let him play in his crib for a bit when he first wakes up?
Us! It was 5:30 on Sunday too! We got room darkening curtains at bed bath and beyond and they help her sleep till 7 ish! The sun is rising so stinkin early these June days!!

This.
When he's up this early, in his dark room I give him a warm bottle of milk and a clean diaper and place him back in his crib and wait. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. If he stays awake after all of this at 5ish for 15min or so, I just accept it.
Re: Ugh, 6am wake-up AGAIN???
same here. Actually we're lucky if he makes it until 6. He's usually up at 5:45 if not earlier.

ditto. i would be thrilled with 6am. even with the room darkening curtains we have an early bird!
Yup.
We're lucky most days if he makes it to 6.
5:30 is a more common time at our house.
Yep. Maybe 5:30 on a good day
