[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m dealing with this (sort of) only opposite - I need my older two to share a room and my oldest wakes up realllly early. I have no suggestions, sigh. [/quote]
Push back bed time for the elder [/quote]

We have tried. He could go to sleep at midnight and still wake up at 6. His body has an actual alarm at 6 on the dot (if not earlier). [/quote]
I researched this regarding my early sleeper and apparently anything after 6 is normal and there's not much you can do about it [/quote]

Most very little kids (three and under) are early birds. People try to put their kids to bed later to have them wake up later and it doesn’t really work. The kid just ends up sleep deprived. Kids who go to bed early wake early, and kids who go to bed late wake up early too.

You suck it up and get up early with them until they outgrow it. [/quote]

I just left my kids in their cribs until a more palpable hour (6:30-7am) and [b]eventually they just started sleeping until then. [/b]If they got fussy prior, I’d go in with the light still off, act very groggy, given them a run and a paci and tell them it was still sleeping time. We also had blackout curtains and sound machines and really good overnight diapers. [/quote]

Ie, your kids grew out of it. No shit. Most do. Sympathies to the poster who noted that hers did not. [/quote]

A lot of kids don’t because their parents let them wake up and watch tv or play with toys or have parental attention. I know a ton of parents that allow tv on weekend mornings so the parents can sleep and they are shocked how early the kids wake up for tv time.[/quote]
