Early waking / waking through the night

Advice welcome. My LO is 2 this weekend and the past few weeks shes been waking up crying through the night an wont go back to sleep for an hour or longer (i leave her but then if she continues i change her nappy, give her some water and give her a cuddle) and now if she dosnt wake through the night shes getting up at 5am. We have a consistant bedtime routine, shes in a room on her own with a sound machine on, blackout blind, she has a dummy (has 4 in her bed so she can find them). We have cut her nap to 1 hour. Im lost with what to do to help. Xx

I have no advice but I'm in exactly the same position with my little boy 🥴

My LO is exactly the same last couple of weeks, I think its another regression as he's been abit off throughout the day too and also very clingy. All these different stages are totally normal, I guess their brains are developing so quickly that they are changing all the time.

Aww thank you Ladies, i think its just nice to hear other people are going through the same, yer @Samantha my little girl is clingy with me too. Xx

Split nights are early wakes are usually due to having met their sleep needs within a 24 hour period. Either they're not tired enough to stay asleep so they have a wake period during the night, OR they have refilled their tank by 5am so they don't have enough sleep pressure to keep them asleep. How long ago did you cut her nap down? She may need a few weeks to adjust before things settle

Thank you. Its been about a month now i think. Xx
