DS2 (11mo) goes to bed nicely every night at 7pm ish after a bath, a bottle and a cuddle.
What has been killing us in the past few weeks is that DS2 wakes up most days between 5.15 and 5.45am, also waking up DS1 in the process.
As a result I am exhausted and so is DH and DS1.
We are now leaving DS2 in bed until he falls back to sleep or until 6.30 ish but as the noise insulation is very poor in our house, it still wakes everybody up. We try to be very consistent about it but it is not giving us great results as he still wakes up at the crack of dawn every other day.
He can sleep longer than this, he has done it before and DS1 used to sleep 12 hours or more straight, no problem; I therefore think that I am not being unrealistic in expecting him to sleep until at least 6/6.15am.
He sleeps pretty well during the day, normally two (1 hour or so) naps a day. And I don't think he is cold or too hot either.
I am not keen on wake to sleep and do not want to co sleep.
If you have positive experiences to share I am desperate keen to hear them.
