Why do my baby always wake up so early

Don’t be angry at your baby. Average amount of sleep is 12 to 12 1/2 hours is 24 hours, at 23 months old. She’s totally sleeping the right/ normal amount.

Mine goes to bed 7-7.30 and is up around 5.30 every day - it’s tiring and sometimes frustrating but I’ve tried to make my peace with it as we’ve tried everything and I think he’s just an early riser 🤪🫠
Thank you! Yes it has been like this forever. Most days I am ok with it. I guess today I am just extra tired after 4 full days with her. I keep saying that I need to go to bed earlier but those hours after she goes to sleep is like so much needed me-time. It is hard to have an early riser, isnt it?
@Amy I am not angry at my baby. It is more like I am angry with my life right now.
It’s ok to be angry. But we knew having babies would be sleep depriving. It’s out of your control. Focus on what we can control. For example last night I decided I need to make my toddlers bedtime routine a bit longer as she was laying awake for a long time in bed, which I found frustrating because I find I go to sleep only when she does (I have a newborn too so I got to bed early!).
Ahh I feel you. It is hard and definitely doesn’t help with your not having good full sleep. Is she eating enough during the day?? Like good protein and all? Apparently it helps makes them sleep. Mine she is now 2years and lately she has been waking up earlier too. Used to be 7ish/8 and now I have a newborn (3weeks old today) and just harder with both now waking up early.
My twin b is exactly the same. And tbh my oldest as well. Only my middle child twin A is the golden sleeper, lol not that it matters when I have the other two awake!
I cannot imagine how hard it is to have multiple kids like you guys. I do love my baby and I want maybe one more but all of these moments make me so scared, like if I find it this hard with one, will I go completely mad if I have another one.
Thank you for everyone sharing. I guess when you are angry, your brain reads selectively and feels like all the other babies sleep for 12hr+ at night.
Trust me wait a few more years till you want another - incognito
Because all people have different sleeping patterns, whether they’re a baby or an adult
