Wakes up thinking it's morning-need advice

fluffybuns · July 2011

I haven't ever visited this board, and I have no idea why! I guess since DD turned two, I haven't had many toddler related questions. That and being pregnant and then having an infant is where most of my questions have been aimed for the past few months!

I've had an issue with Addy the past few weeks, and I am hoping to get some ideas from you ladies. She goes to bed with no problems. I think sometimes she is so tired she falls right asleep. And she'll wake up 20-30 minutes later and yell for me like it's morning and she's calling "I awake Mommy". She's still in her crib, so she stays there. Usually she goes to bed pretty early too, so I can't always tell her it's dark outside so it's time to be sleeping.

Does anyone else have something that works for them on how to explain that it's still time to be asleep?

What time is she going to bed? Maybe she needs to go like 30 mins later! A lot of people talk about those time to get up clocks.

That might help!

I would say just the opposite, try moving her bedtime earlier. Whenever my kids are overtired they wake up more.

This is what I need to do! She's always been a better sleeper the earlier she goes to bed! It's just so hard with an infant, and getting her in bed at a better time. She goes to bed at 7. I'd like to keep it that time at least until I'm back to work.

I'm going to try that clock!!! I think that's exactly what we need!

Thanks ladies!
