I am not a morning person.
I am better than some, Daddy Bear for example takes about an hour of pressing the snooze button before he drags himself out of bed.
I will get up straight away, I just dont like getting up early.
Now I accepted that my days of waking at 11am were over when I had a baby, and I got used to waking at 7am with Baby Bear, and then back to bed at 9ish when he got tired again. But Baby Bear is only on two feeds a night at the minute, but has started waking just before 6am and not going back to sleep :(
Our routine:
Nap from 5pm until 6.15
Bath at 6.30pm, then baby massage and dressed
Play until 7pm
Bottle of EBM at 7pm (sometimes 6.50 if he's fractious)
Cuddles until he starts getting sleepy
Put into bed at 7.30pm, where he will fight sleep for about an hour, sometimes longer!
I've tried putting him to bed later. I've tried putting him to bed earlier. Neither work for him.
I don't function particularly well waking up at 6am, it's killing me! So today I'm going to try and keep the baby up longer in the daytime and see if that works!
Hoping for a lie-in!
