Early waking

All of a sudden Philip has been waking up earlier and earlier every morning. I adjust his bedtime to be 30 minutes later (now 8pm), but he still wakes up earlier in the morning. He seems to be asking for food as soon as he wakes up. For a while he was having a yogurt before bed, but he does not want to eat that late anymore, he only wants some milk after his bath. I have tried to soothe/rock him back to sleep without luck. He does not even what to snuggle with us in our bed. He is up any ready to play. Good news is he is taking a 2-3 hour nap during the day. Any suggestion on how to extend his night sleep?

I am having the same problem. My guy has been suddenly waking up at 6 or 6:30 instead of his normal 7-7:30. I keep trying to tell him to go back to sleep, but he just quiets down for a few minutes then starts in again. When I let him get up, he is a happy guy. He also is napping pretty well, however he is ready to nap earlier when he wakes up early. The only thing I can think of is trying to put the baby to bed EALIER, not later. They say that sleep begets sleep. What could it hurt?

Good luck!
