How to wake up in the morning before baby?

My baby is 5 months, waking every couple of hours. We are safely cosleeping so wakes often just consist of putting a boob in his mouth!

Toddler wakes 2-3 times a night.

I need to get up earlier than baby/toddler in order to get myself ready for the day. When I don't, we're all late.. DH late for work, toddler misses breakfast at nursery, I don't get to shower, baby often goes out in PJ's :/

I just can't seem to get up (alarms get snoozed etc) and then feel bad all day.

AIBU?
Yes: I'm lazy and need tough love- just get up!
No: It's hard, be kind to yourself and find work arounds, eg shower at night.

Practical advice and strong, encouraging words of wisdom appreciated!!

Totally missing the point of why you not getting up before baby makes the entire household late? What is the other parent doing?

Why is your DH late for work if you don't get up before the baby/toddler wakes?
