Can’t get my son to sleep past 5-5:30am. He’s 14 months. Taking one long morning nap around 9am b/c he’s up so early, taking shorter afternoon nap. He regularly goes to bed 6:30ish PM. Plz help!!!

I think you need to push the bed time a little bit and cut down on the afternoon nap.
My 18 months daughter usually goes to bed around 8 PM and wake up by 7 am.
I also remember that she went through a sleep regression around 14 months.

Tire him out in the afternoon by going on a walk or kicking a ball around. Try push bedtime back by an hour. And feed him a big bottle of milk just before he sleeps.

Agree you need to shift the whole day an hour later, and think about trimming one of the naps (don’t rush this).

Agree with A1. My son is nearly 6 months, and just started sleeping through the night. We put him down at 7:30, and he wakes up normally around 7 am. I’d push the time later to put him to bed.

Wow. I’m incredibly jealous. Well done

Update: we pushed his sleep time back a little bit (6:45pm) and he slept until 6:10am this morning! Hoping it’s not an anomaly. Going to keep trying to push his bed time back a few mins each night and see what that does. Thanks for all the advice!!

My son is now almost 17 months, he has always been a superb sleeper, but the 13-15 month range was pretty brutal for early wake-ups and daytime sleeping. There's a natural regression in there, plus the transition from 2 into 1 long nap per day.

My suggestion would be to fight to maintain your routines, consistent timing, and to do your best to push that morning nap into the afternoon. Sometimes at this age they don't need 2 naps, sometimes they do so it is a bit of a guessing game. Either way, keeping the baby up as long as possible and pushing from 10 - 1030 -11 - 1130 etc until you get to that 1230/1pm sweet spot where they'll take a single massive nap after lunch. (My kid is still sometimes 1hr sometimes up to 3 - so not even quite there yet)

Best of luck - it's super hard especially on the morning and daytime caregivers

We have same issue with our 8 month old. Despite all the advice here it doesn’t matter when we put him to bed. He wakes at 515-600 every day if he goes to bed anywhere from 645-830. We moved his bed time up to 7 from 8 be he was so tired in the evening. Still wakes up at the same times. So not sure about these suggestions...

So true!

Looks like you got some good advice but I’d also say that the silver lining is that these changes usually level out after a week or two.

My anxiety has been at bay after changing my job and just feeling like I HAVE control over my life. But now it's back because I feel like I'm behind in other aspects of my life (I.e dating).

Are there any mothers here who voluntarily gave primary custody to the kids father? I love my children fiercely but tbh I don’t think I’m cut out to be a single parent. Family and friends tell me I’m a great mom but at the end of the day having them on my own is exhausting and I end up just either letting them do whatever they want Bc I don’t feel strong enough to set a limit about it, or yelling at them. They’re 4 and 7 for reference. Please constructive responses only. Thank you!

My sister and I have recently both come to the realization that our parents guilt us into spending time with them or visiting them and the guilt causes us both to shut down. Our dad is the main offender, often reminding us how little time we have left with him, asking us why we’re leaving so soon or reminding us about all the good deeds and sacrifices made. We’ve both noticed this shift in our relationship with our parents after graduating from college and starting our own adult lives. Continued
