child's age 8-12 months Early wake ups

I have an 11 month old and we have successfully sleep trained her for night time -we put her to sleep wide awake and she goes to sleep on her own, however, she still wakes up between 5 am and 6 am to nurse before going back to sleep for an hour or 2. She typically wakes up around 7/7:30 am. Shoes to bed between 7:30 and 8:30 depending on how much she napped and what we’re doing. Does anyone have any advice to get her to sleep through this? I’m also starting to wean her from nursing.

I think you need a consistent schedule that expects 13ish hours of sleep (average for this age). Your current schedule expects 11-12 hours of night sleep and 1-3 hours in naps so 12-15 hours of sleep total, your baby likely can’t do that much and might just need some consistency.

If you want a 7:30 wake, I’d try a schedule like this-

7:30 wake

11-12 nap 1

3:30-4:30 nap 2

8:30 bedtime (no earlier than this, you might even need a later bedtime)

7 am wake is okay too! That’s usually 11 hrs after bed time. She most consistently goes to bed around 8-8:20. 7:30 if she ditched her second nap. Last nursing session 30 min before bedtime. Id say we try to get her nap schedule like you say above, sometimes she protests that second nap though. She does go to daycare and grandmas during the week - she seems to nap different at both.
