Morning Wake Up Too Early

Jessica

My daughter keeps waking up earlier and earlier in the morning. She’s 16 months old, today is 4.20am and she won’t go back to sleep. We’ve used cry it out in the past with her with her in general with good success at getting her back to sleep. In the past we’ve also brought her out of her crib to cuddle with us on the chair in her room for her to fall back asleep on days she was waking up too early. Neither are doing anything to get her back to sleep any more. She’s just so awake. If I take her out she just starts ‘talking’ and is wide awake and wants to get up for the day, no matter how cuddly sleepy I try to make her. Her naps are now moving earlier and earlier each day as she’s so tired and she’s wrecked come 5pm. Her bedtime is 7pm. What can we do to help her start to sleep later in the mornings again?
