Introduction:

Being a parent is a joy, but early mornings that don’t fit your family’s routine can be tough. If you’re dealing with waking up too early, don’t worry! I’ve put together a straightforward list of reasons to help you and your little one have more peaceful mornings. Let’s dig into why those early starts might be happening.

Consistency is Key:

I’ll keep saying it because it’s vital: be consistent. The speed of improvement depends on your child’s age and how long this early waking has been going on. Consistency is like the steady beat that guides you through this sleep journey.

Defining “Early Morning”:

Before we look at solutions, let’s agree on what we mean by “early morning.” In a nutshell, it’s starting the day before 6 AM. Babies and young kids naturally wake up between 6 and 8 AM, but we want them waking up between 6 and 7 AM due to nap timing.

Causes and Solutions:

Now, let’s explore the reasons and fixes for those early mornings:

  1. Not enough daytime sleep
  2. Going to bed too late
  3. Sleep environment issues
  4. Changes in development
  5. Discomfort
  6. Waking up too close to bedtime
  7. Encouraging early wake-ups
  8. Dependence on parent for sleep
  9. Napping at the wrong time
  10. Too much daytime sleep

Conclusion:

Handling early mornings with a baby or toddler takes patience and a bit of trial and error. Identify the cause to create a smoother sleep routine for both you and your little one. Every child is different, so feel free to adjust these tips to fit your family’s needs. Here’s to restful nights and calm mornings!
