My 14 month old wakes at about 5am each day. Putting him to bed later does not make any difference to his wake up time.
Ideally I don't want to be getting up and out of bed until 6.30 ish so I am wondering what I can do with him to occupy him whilst I lay in bed without him waking my older son.
I tend to give him a breastfeed in the dark in the hope he will fall asleep on me for a bit longer but it rarely works but gives me another 15 minutes in bed.
His play skills are limited. He mainly enjoys pulling things out of cupboards, rolling balls around and knocking things down. I sometimes read with him but really would rather not be doing this at 5am.
If I put him back in his cot he cries and is upset if he is not in the same room as me.
Any ideas?
