Black out blind, do you use one ?
Most mornings it is a real struggle to get Archie to sleep between 5 and 7am. It's a combination of dummy, cuddle and put down and then i eventually give in and he's in with us.
It's getting harder as the mornings get lighter. It's not been a problem cos it's been wintery dark mornings and our bedroom curtains are quite dark. But now it's light and he can see me and as soon as he sees me it's game over and he wants to get up and play.
So do you use a black out blind and is it worth it ? Thanks. Suz x
ps. As an aside so you close the curtins for lo's daytime naps ?

How old is Archie?? I take it he is still in your room then? It's hard if he can see you as he'll obviously want to be with you. Do you not feel ready to try him in his own room as if he wakes early and can't see anyone, he may just go back to sleep through boredom!!
I've never closed the curtains or the blinds in her room for daytime naps - she just needs to be somewhere quiet and that's enough for her.

I'm so glad we got them, but even she is now waking a little earlier in the morning (instead of 8am between 7 - 7.30am).
I would try one. You can get them from many places. We got ours online from web blinds - you measure up yourself and they send you a made to measure blind which you fit. otherwise Argos do them which you can cut to fit. You can also buy Baa Baa Blinds for about ??30. You can take these on holiday with you as they aren't permanently fixed to the window.
