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..

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.
