And* not angle
@kharys thank you! He’s not interested in having me in there, he literally laughs at me if I go in and it wakes him up more 🤣. He’s not upset or anything, just playing and being silly- blowing raspberries etc. no issue really except he’s clearly tired and just making himself overtired 🙃 He’s just gone to sleep now after being in bed for an hour. Probably be up at 6am ish and absolutely shattered. Then it’s a battle to keep him going until nap time 😅
Sounds like he needs more sleep pressure. Try putting him to bed at 8 if that’s when he falls asleep. There’s no evidence that overtiredness causes early wakes, it’s usually under tiredness and just that they’ve simply had enough sleep
@Hollie i thought that too. He has always tended to wake early when overtired going to bed though (that’s just a given with him we’ve noticed!) Put him to bed earlier tonight, and he’s already asleep. Barely made a peep, didn’t even stand up! So I think he just can’t last longer than 4.5 hours in the afternoon yet. He seems to last a bit longer in the mornings now though, tends to be 5.5-6 hrs in before his nap!
This was us a few weeks ago. I know it’s not what you want to hear but we just had to ride it out angle after 2-3 weeks back to normal… although still she still wakes up at 5:30/6 but goes down so easy as before. I found that just holding her and humming lullabies helped. Only took 10 mins rather than an hour. Sometimes all they want/need is to have mummy close by. I just have to remind myself that it’s all about ‘phases’ and it’ll pass
