14 mo old waking at 5am every single day

OP with an update.

Sat am baby woke at 6am so that worked out well for everyone.
Sun am 4 yr old wet bed and so at 5:20 the house was "awake" so baby woke soon after and I just got her up.

Last night I did the following and she slept until 6am:
1. Put on extra clothes
2. Put new toys in crib
3. Put 5 oz water bottle in crib
4. as usual turned on white noise machine but turned it up one click
5. on Sunday, gave her only one nap, 10:30-noon. kept her up until 7. She was a fussy mess after 6 to be completely honest but DH and I took turns holding her. She ate a second dinner with the family at about 7.
6. shortened bedtime routine. Got a bath but not books. She wanted bottle and sleep.
7. at 4:50 am I let her CIO but she wasn't even really convincing me to get out of bed. her cry was half-hearted at best and lasted 8 minutes. She slept until 6! I was going to let her cry for 30/ or when she freaked out. neither happened.

It still makes me sad that I'm celebrating a 6am wake time but that's going to be 5am this time next week.

and to PPs who said it lasted until 4 or 5 years: I don't hear you.
