Morning hell
Hi all, fully in the trenches here with 1 month old and 15 month old.
What can I do to survive the mornings? Husband is here with me until 7:30am for another week and then will return to work, and I’ll be solo with the both of them.
Toddler wakes up anywhere from 5am - 6am, ALWAYS wakes up tired and grouchy, and we have tried everything for him to get more sleep, he just won’t go back to sleep. If we bring him into our bed he just tries to climb and play, he won’t just relax or go back to sleep. He also won’t sit still to watch any tv.
Baby feeds around 4am and will very occasionally sleep in until 7 but is usually up around the 6am mark.
By the time I have fed and changed baby, made breakfast for toddler and cleaned up, baby is starting to fuss for a nap. He needs help to get to sleep. Toddler needs to get dressed and ready for the day, due to early start is starting to get over stimulated playing with toys, I’m still in pjs and need to get myself sorted for the day.
By the time we’re all ready for the day toddler needs to get out of the house to chill him out and baby is losing his shit having been awake for 2+ hours.
And that’s with an extra pair of hands!
- How one earth will I cope on my own
- Where are we going wrong? Our household is a screaming crying mayhem by 9am
