We put DS down for bed between 7:00-7:30. He usually sleeps until about 6:30 am but lately has been having wake ups around 5-5:30. If he wakes up before 6 we change him and rock him for a minute and put him back in his crib and try for another hour of sleep.
Down around 7:45-8:00. She's usually up around 5-5:30 (no matter what I do, she seems to wake up when I start showering/getting ready for work), but sometimes I have to wake her up around 6:15 to get ready to leave for daycare.
Bedtime is 7:30 for both kids. DD usually ends up in bed a little earlier because her routine is easier. I wake them during the week a little after 6 to head out for DC around 6:30. Weekends my son is usually up before 7 but has learned to stay quiet so we go get him around 7. DD wakes up between 7-7:30 on the weekends.

Thanks for your answers. The last two weeks Q has been getting up at 530. I've tried earlier and later bedtime, but nothing seems to change it. He naps at home from 11-1 ang at daycare from 12:30-2:30. Daycare days he sleeps in the car on the way there for about 30 min.
The 530 wake ups are killing me. P is up at 3 and I pump from 4-4:30. I'm a walking zombie.

Will he go back to sleep?
Usually he will go back to sleep. Sometimes I see on the monitor that he doesn't fall asleep but he'll lay quietly or talk to himself in the crib for a bit before he starts complaining to get out. I can usually squeeze at least an extra 30 mins in.
Lola when I pumped for DS the extra time pumping in the middle of the night after changing and feeding him made things so much harder and I was exhausted being up that extra time. Cannot imagine how you are handling that on top of having Q wake up early.
Down between 8-8:15, where she'll take anywhere from 5-20 mins to go to sleep (she just lays and plays), wakes anywhere from 7-7:45. I think I'm going to start laying her down 15 mins earlier every other day to hopefully help with DST on Saturday. I hate having to wake her to take her to the sitter's, I feel she's better off mood-wise if she wakes on her own.
7-7:30 and wakes between 5:30-6 usually. He still takes a 3 hour nap which may be why he wakes early but so far working to adjust nap time hasn't made a different in his early waking so I figure it will work out on its own or he will always be an early riser.
I do change his diaper before I go to bed because it's usually wet then but I think he still wakes when it's really wet again in the morning and won't go back to sleep.
He's down to one nap for the most part. The drive to daycare is about 45 minutes. I can't keep him from falling asleep. He has toys and snacks, but usually falls asleep about 15 min in

I aim for 12 and 4. Most nights I sleep through one of those. Some nights dh wakes up and feeds while I pump. That is way more manageable.

Got it. It read to me that there was a morning nap at 11 and then the afternoon daycare nap, but re-reading I see its 2 different nap times depending on if he has DC.

DD had decided to wake up early the last two weeks, too. Not a fan. I'm thinking about getting blackout curtains, wondering if it being light earlier is throwing her off? The time she goes to bed doesn't affect wake up time at all. She goes to bed around 8-8:30 and will sleep until between 5:30-7. She used to sleep until 7:15-8. I miss those days.

We are firm at 7pm bedtime. Sometimes she doesn't fall asleep right away, but she just stays in her crib chatting it up. We'll shhh her through the monitor and she falls asleep on her own. She randomly wakes up in the middle of the night but we never go in to her and she's goes back to bed eventually. In the morning she could wake up as early as 7:30 or as late as 9:30, but again I can leave her in there a while after she's awake and she just hanging out in the crib w her toys. Sometimes I push it and by the time I get in there she's topless and one time she has taken her pants/diaper off but most of the time she's fine waiting until I'm ready for her.

Bedtime is from 7-7:30 depending on the night. Typically she wakes up around 7-8am. I think 5-6 days a week, she is able to sleep through. Even on the nights she wakes, it's only one wakeup and she gets some milk (or dry nursing at this point) and goes back to sleep. She's a MUCH better sleeper than in her infancy. I'm preparing myself for another terrible sleeper but it's encouraging to see that at 19 months, C has improved so much.
L is in bed at 7. His wake up time is 7. Sometimes he wakes up earlier but I don't go get him until 7. He has learned to play by himself and wait patiently for me.
I tried putting q down a half hour earlier and he woke up at 5.
Did he go back down?
No He slept in the car on the way to daycare. He woke up asking for pancakes, so i think he must have been hungry. Tonight im going to try and feed him a ton before bed.
Late to this, but bedtime is at 7, we wake her up on most weekdays at 6 to get everyone out the door on time. On weekends, if the house is quiet she'll sleep in til about 6:30. (Sounds early, but we're morning people) She takes a 1-3 hour nap during the day depending on where she is and how tired she is.
The only thing that worked for us with early wake ups was ignoring her in her crib for the last hour or so. She goes through phases where she wakes up closer to 5 than 6, and it's too early. We won't get her out of her crib until 6.
Dd is in her crib by 8:20, sometimes she falls asleep immediately, others she rolls around for up to 40 minutes. She usually wakes up between 6:45-7, some days I have to wake her for daycare (no later than 7:05). Last week she was waking earlier than normal but her allergies are bothering her so I think it was just that.

Also late to the game but DD goes down between 7 and 7:30pm every night. She typically wakes anywhere between 5:45am and 7am. Its usually a crap shoot. Sometimes during the week I have to wake her at 6:30am to get ready to go to the sitter. Regardless, she typically stays in her crib until I'm ready to go get her. She usually does a good job babbling to herself and entertaining herself until then.
She naps anywhere between 1-2 hours during the day. Usually put her down around noon.
DD usually is in bed by 7:30pm and up about 6:30am. She usually plays in her crib until 7:15am when DH leaves for work. She also takes a 2-3 hour afternoon nap.
No He slept in the car on the way to daycare. He woke up asking for pancakes, so i think he must have been hungry. Tonight im going to try and feed him a ton before bed.
Let me know how this goes. I didn't consider that maybe she's waking up wanting something in her stomach (maybe even just a drink or something.)

5:30 like clockwork. He woke up asking to eat. He had lo mein, eggs, yogurt and pretzels before bed. I think I might try giving him milk tomorrow morning and seeing if he will fall asleep again.
