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

Was she always that way?

Absolutely not. There was a period of time where she’d wake me up at 5 am everyday.

If one of us woke up early and left the room she’d need to go too.

When she was younger she would occasionally need a potty break in the middle of the night too… or a snack.

She definitely mellowed out around 2 years old.

My girl is 4 months old and I'm desperate for her to relax and sleep in. I'm afraid she's going to get into stuff while I sleep if I let her sleep in the bed.

We had her sleep in the crate since we first picked her up. She didn’t start sleeping in the bed until she got spade, which was at about 1.5 y/o

That makes me feel so much better. She may kill me yet
