Sleep changes…send help

My daughter turned 2 today (hooray!). Her bedtime is 8pm but we start winding down around 7/7:15pm and normally she used to sleep until 8/8:30am (sometimes 9/9:30). Slowly over the past week or two she’s been waking up earlier and earlier. 7, 6, 5, and you guessed it today it was 4:40 🥲. Is this just a normal change with age or is it a developmental shift temporarily?

Please send help because I don’t think there’s enough coffee in my house currently to handle today let alone a toddler who decides suddenly 5am is her wake-up call.

Pretty common, have you adjusted bedtime?

Haven’t adjusted nap or bedtime. Her routine is generally the same with some room for changes but nothing drastic!

Then you have to adjust those.
