DS (9 months) is about to start at the childminder in a couple of weeks and DH and I keep talking about a morning routine but finding it really hard to figure out, so I thought I'd ask for tips! DS and I will need to leave the house at 7.45am, DH at 8. At the moment DS wakes at around 6/6.30, has breakfast (solids) at around 6.45 then a bottle at 8 - I know that's the wrong way round but he never wants his bottle until then, even though we've dropped all the night feeds. He does drink some water before his breakfast. He will only eat finger foods for breakfast and eats a fair amount, I think (e.g. this morning, 1 weetabix and about half a pear) but it takes him frigging ages - he's normally in his highchair at least half an hour. He'll have missed breakfast at the childminder's so can't eat there and it feels a bit cheeky to hand him over at 8 and say 'oh, he needs a bottle NOW'. I'm sure I'm being very silly and making a big meal out of nothing (I can feel all the mothers of more than one child or whose DPs aren't around in the morning rolling their eyes at me!) but I'm struggling to work out how to get everyone fed, dressed and out the house - help me, wise mumsnetters, please?!
