What tine do your toddlers wake up?

My 20 month olds are consistently up by 6 and I have to get up this early 1 more day I’m going to loose my mind. They go down at 8/8:30 take 1 nap during the day, but they wake up scream bloody murder you go to get them and they want to go back to bed after they have a cup of milk in the morning..... I feel like they should be sleeping a little longer by now and just having breakfast- they stopped a bottle overnight at 10 weeks old... here we are 18 months later and it’s STILL SO EARLY!!!! I’m a horrible person if I don’t get enough sleep

6:30, with the occasional 7/7:30. They are 3 and 5 and go to sleep between 7:30 and 8:30. They were always early risers and never fight bedtime so I just run with it.

All of my kids, ages 2-7 get up around 6-6:30 regardless of when they go to bed. I'm not a morning person so this is unfortunate. I'm so jealous of people who's kids sleep in.

My DD is 7 and she has always been an early riser. She still gets up any time between 6:30-7:00. Sleeping in is 7:30 for her lol. It gets easier when they are old enough to turn on the tv for themselves and you can get in a few more mins of sleep.

Around 7. She leaves for daycare around 7:20.

Unless it's the weekend, then she's up at 6 because she enjoys making us suffer.

About 6:30 also. Some blessed mornings she'll sleep until 7/7:30 but it's rare. Luckily, she doesn't scream, so I leave her in the crib for maybe an extra 1/2 hour, but I know once she moves to a big girl bed in January those days are over. Chat Icon

ETA: And a later bed time does not make her sleep later. It just makes her need a nap earlier in the day. Chat Icon

DS1 (almost 3) wakes up anywhere between 6-6:45 and DS2 (7 months) wakes up anywhere from 5-6 --depending on the day they go to sleep anywhere between 7:15-8:30. Neither of them nap much during the day. I was the person who always needed 10 hours of a sleep at night (before kids) ... now if they both make it to 6 I'm happy.

My 2 and 5 yr olds wake up between 6-730. The 2 year old mostly 630. The 5 year old 730. I think some kids just sleep more than others.

Re: What tine do your toddlers wake up?

My kids have been late sleepers but our 2.5 year old wakes up anytime between 645 and 730, but he can play in his crib for along time chatting away to himself.

My 4 yo would sleep past 8 everyday if he could and if everyone else would quiet down

8-6 is 10 hours. I don't think you can expect much more than that. Have you tried pushing bedtime later?

Yes... they get up even earlier I feel like when I do that and they are way more cranky!!!
They slept a little better as infants and I was able to get 12 hours in for like 2-3 months... at one point it was consistently 5am after only 8 hours of sleep and it was hell!!

My 4 kids rarely ever give me more then 10 hours. On occasion the younger 2 (5 and 2.5) will give me 11

Try doing the pushing of bedtime back gradually. 15 minutes every 3 days. I was able to push my kids bedtimes back from 7 to 9:30 (I would get home late from work and wanted them awake), and they woke up later! It’s like daylight savings or traveling to a different time zone: They get confused for a few days and then reset. One day or a few days won’t get the effect.

My 4 year old wakes up between 6:15-6:45 most days and he’s been like that since birth. Occasionally (like when we’re traveling or stay out very late, he’ll sleep until 7:30/8, but that only happens a few times a year. I don’t mind though cause I’m a morning person.

I agree. And you have to keep the later bedtime for AT LEAST 2 weeks to see a difference.

OMG exactly the same for me.

Except that now they're in school and suddenly they want to sleep in but can't, so I have to drag them out of bed through fighting and crying most mornings. Except for weekends when *I* can sleep in. Then it's back to 6:30am for them. It's basically worst case scenario all the time.

What tine do your toddlers wake up?

Some kids just need more sleep than others
DS 7- 8:30 bedtime, 6:30 wake up
DS 5- 8:00 bedtime, 6:30 wake up
twin DD's 3- 7:30 bedtime, 7:30 wake up
DD 2- 7:00 bedtime, she has the earliest bedtime, and we are dragging her out of bed on the weekends at 8.
Our saving grace is that my boys are old enough to come downstairs by themselves at 6:30 on a weekend morning, turn on the TV or play on the iPads, and get themselves milk or water, until we come down with the girls at 7:30.

I did but we can’t do it consistently with our work schedules so I feel like if we can’t kee the same schedule for them consistently it will throw them off more. I try and keep a very set schedule having twins

DS is almost 8 - he still gets up anywhere from 6:45 - 7:30 most every day. Bedtime is 8:30pm. If we are out late, he'll maybe sleep a little later, but not usually.

DD is 2 - she routinely wakes up around 8:30am every day. We put her in at 8:30 pm and sometimes she's awake until 9:30pm, but singing in her crib. I'm fearing when we put her in a toddler bed bc I'm sure that will change.
