Ava is currently going to bed at 7pm and waking at 5.30am (yawn!).
Im wondering if she is going to bed too early, hence the early wake up time and I am interested to know what time other toddlers around her age go to bed.
Thanks! :)

Cian's in bed at 7 - 7.30 at the absolute latest and used to wake up around 6.30/7am... but since daylight savings we've been getting the 5.30 wake-up too
maybe it's just a stage?? (please?)

Hi, bubs is 18 months and she goes to bed between 8-8.30pm and is normally awake 7am or just after (unfortunately waking a bit at night due to teething at the moment though). During the week she goes to DC and has one sleep between an hour to two hours, at the weekend she has a morning and afternoon nap if she needs both. She is very active and is still running around at bedtime.

I have found over time with my 2.8yr old that it doesn't matter how late I put her to bed, she will still wake at the same time in the morning. So I figure at least I have my evenings!

LittleBug - she sleeps from 11.30-1 or 1.30pm during the day usually.
We are going to try a later bedtime tonight.

I've found this as well. DS was waking early a couple of months back but he is now sleeping through til 7am mostly - for us it goes in phases and there doesn't seem to be anything we can do to change thigs so I just ride it out

Jackson is in bed by 7:30pm latest (sometimes earlier) and we wake him at 6:45am (to get ready for day care).
On the weekends he will sleep until about 7:30am, though since day light savings ended it is a bit earlier (waiting for the mornings to get darker again!!!).
He only has a sleep of about an hour during the day, though on weekends it can be about two hours. He is extremely busy and active (hyperactive) so I think he really wears himself out.
I read that babies about this age need around 13 - 14 hours of sleep a day, so Ava isn't really too far off that amount.

Same here!
Caden goes to bed at between 6.30 and 7.30 and always wakes up at the same time, of around 7-8.

7pm here :) Usually they wake around 7am. At 19 months they were still having 2 hour naps during the day as well.

Unfortunately I've never found that a later bed time alters the wake up time and at least with an early bed time you get your evenings to relax!
DS wakes really early when he's teething and a bit unsettled and then usually comes right within a week.
I have heard some kids are just early risers
DS is almost 21mths, goes to bed around 7.30pm (as DH doesnt get home til 7pm) and is up around 6.30 / 7am, has a 2/3hr sleep during the day.

If Caden ever wakes that early, I give him a bottle and that sends him back to sleep until his normal wake up time Might be worth a go!
