To want to cut back on more stuff?

[Madreamer]

I'm a single mom working full time with a 1 year old DS. In trying to streamline our lives and maximise quality time I've done the following. I would like suggestions on how I can bring in more effeciency as I can't think of anything more -

dropped morning tea and breakfast at home - wake up 7:15 and leave 7:45. So We get more sleep...
Stopped cooking dinner myself - hired a lady who cooks in the weekend for the week; helped us in going to bed at 8:15 instead of 9:15 as we get back home most days by 7pm. I Internet for around 1 hr in bed after he sleeps (sanity)!
Bathe together (saves 5 mins as I can dress while he bathes) and counts and together time!
Cook for DS only if he hasn't eaten at CM - which he does 70% of time...otherwise he gets only yoghurt and fruit..
I still co sleep, still breast feed...
What else cAn I drop? X

You can't expect a child to reliably walk until 2/3 years old and you would need a buggy to bring them back, you couldn't expect them to do a long walk after a long day at nursery. Ergo can work depending on how big the child and how strong you are plus how far you have to walk.

If you are in London living nearer work may just not be affordable I would look at nurseries nearer work but still you have buggy on tube problem.

We have a back carrier thingy, which is really good. DS2 (20 months) loves going in it. He calls it 'the walk walk' and is a bit obsessed with it. DH takes him to nursery on the bus when I'm away for work and finds it much, much easier than using a buggy. It's quite comfortable even if you're carrying him for quite a long time.

We have this carrier. Its great.
