PS Mr F is sure early waking is a side effect of breastfeeding... all evidence to show him it's just a toddler thing would be much appreciated!! Neither of our boys have been really early wakers, it's just M (fron that angle might be a very good thing bump is probably another boy)


Still at least it's not dark and cold this time of year.

Well mine wasn't bf and despite some 'golden' days of 7/7.30am wakings (rare and lovely) he's generally an early waker. So there's an anecdotal rebuttal! Def the stirring at 5 - and then it's hit and miss if he goes back.


Yes - why do you think a boy? And how are you feeling now?

that's quite impressive - I have relied upon cbeebies until now when we've launched into breakfast - have already had a fight with some Oats so simple ending in disaster, and then tried to slice bread from breadmaker only to realise it's not done yet, so have a slightly irritable toddler chewing soggy bread at the moment.

Seriously impressed, afraid I am NOT a morning person so children have to pretty much entertain themselves - or I use Auntie CBeebies if all else fails til the caffene kicks in!


So glad you are feeling better F, didn't think they could/would tell that early, very cool.


Everyone up now, including DH so off to sort breakfast, have a lovely day.


M

Mine unfortunately don't really sit and watch cbeebies consistently. I put them in their highchairs and drag breakfast no 1 out for as long as possible followed by books in their chairs then they started asking for paint.. is Ok as long as there is NO RUNNING AROUND! And the bath is very close by in our flat, luckily. Somehow, getting messy is their VERY FAVOURITE THING. Ds 1 was the same.


I must say it's very peaceful until aforementiined DS1 gets up, anyway.

We've all been up since 6.10 - I know that as we're training older child in a Pavlovian way with her new alarm clock. She's not allowed out of bed until it rings (when she gets to turn it off) and we're putting it back by ten minutes every few days - it's working a treat. I've an extra 30 mins so far.


Youngest one on the other hand has had me up since 4-something-ungodly.


And when I say all - of course my husband is still in bed.


(Sounds of gnashing teeth and Mum/wife putting Deep Heat in his budgie smugglers!)


(PS - he doesn't wear budgie smugglers - the words just make me giggle :))

Yep, early rising in this house at the moment too. Although C, bless him, just sits in his bed and yells "I'm awaaaaaake" at gradually increasing dynamic until we go through to him - you'd think at 3.5 he would have worked out he can get out of bed by himself?! Long may it last. His room is really bright, despite all my attempts at blackout, so he's been waking really early. This morning I fobbed him off with a pile of books which he sat and looked at for about 45 minutes, so not too bad.


M has been waking at around 5:30am, but generally a nappy change and a bleary eyed parent telling her it's still nighttime keeps her quiet for another hour.


There's a lot to be said for winter and dark mornings!

You'll have to tell him, I have a breastfeeding daughter who wakes between 10-11am so.. 'what a load of pants' (Ha)


Better early mornings anyway, then like me you don't have a 16 month old running around till 12am while you have your eyes prised open with matchsticks. Ho hum..

    • Labour have changed a number of things overnight.   1. VAT on school fees - this has resulted in 25,000 moving until state education. 2. Increasing NICs adding billions to the cost of going to work. 3. Introducing the Employment Rights Bill causing employers to stop hiring. This and item 2 have added 100,000 people to the unemployment scrapheap. These are also causing businesses to relocate further harming the economy. 4. Scrapping all the small boats deterrents meaning 60,000 illegal migrants have arrived in small boats since they were elected. 5. Dishing out huge public sector payroses with no conditions so we have a massively increased payroll and doctors etc arestill going out on strike. 6.changed IHT and non domicile tax rules causing 16,500 millionaires to leave the UK and stop paying any tax here at all forever. 7. Alongside 6, leaving the budget up until an historically late period after the last budget has caused a house price crash, killing the market and decimating government stamp duty receipts. 8. Their profligate borrowing (£100bn extra in just one year) to fund all their lavish promises means the government can now only borrow at the highest ever yields on records. They are more beholden to the bond markets than Liz Truss was. 9. The rate of inflation has doubled under this government. It was a healthy 2% when they came in. For most of the last year, as a result of all of the above it is now nearly 4%.   These are all decisions the Labour government took that have immediate cause and effect.  Its no good harking back to 15 years ago. The current administration was gifted the fastest growing economy in the G7 and within 15 months they have destroyed it.    And things are only going to get worse this winter.      
    • I use Autocar Repair in West Dulwich.. been using them for over 20 years. Excellent service… 
    • A lot to agree with here - don’t get me started on Irish people complaining about immigration! - but that final paragraph is once again a cop out  there’s a lot of extreme right wing money stirring up the division that people are feeling - but there is zero excuse for handing power to these people. We live in a democracy and if we have enough people willing to give it up then judging those people foolish enough to do so is not only something that will happen, it is something that the rest of us should be morally compelled to do  if someone wouldn’t “normally” vote for a racist party yet somehow will do so because they hear someone like me saying that would be bad, then you better believe I’m judging them
    • We can't use our kitchen for a while and so looking for an air fryer to plug the gap. Please let me know if you have a good one in working order.  07702 305 310 Thanks
