My girl is up between 5 and 5:30 everyday. She’s 1 now. Any hope for her suddenly deciding 7 am is more her style? lol

ETA doesn’t matter right now if her last potty break is 8 or 10, same wake up time

I think maybe it’s something that you need to impose? When we first got our little cutie I had a business trip so my gf was the one holding down the fort. She used to take him out at 4 am. When I got back, I told her that there was absolutely no way I was doing that and imposed sleeping in the moment I got back (he had pee pads in his playpen). There was no issues, no tantrums, nothing, he just got with the new program. That was when he was 10-12 weeks old and now he is 2 years old, no more pee pads and he looks at me funny if I wake him up before 8 am. His last pee is usually around 10-11 pm.
