Returning to work when DS is 10 months old help!!!

[MamaMalik]

Hello
I go back to work in November my son would be 10 months turning 11 months on 15 November.
I would have to drop him to my parents house 30 mins bus journey before I start work at 8:45 ( it takes 35 mins to get to work) what time should I wake up and what time should I wake up dear son, I don't want a sleepy cranky baby first thing in the morning.
Thank you

Only you know! We all get up at 6am here in the car for nursery at 7.30 to be at work by 8.10 if that helps at all.

My dd gets breakfast at nursery so everyday I hope she stays asleep while I get ready this rarely happens. I leave at 7.45 7.55 most days so I set my alarm for 6.30 and run around getting ready then get her up at 7.15 if she's still asleep.

I've just gone back to work and my son is almost ten months. I worried about how it was all going to work for three months, but to be honest, he's changed so much over that time that it's all completely different now! So my advice would be to think about it again in mid October and try not to worry until then. (Helpful not helpful, sorry!)

DD is almost 11 months and we're just doing nursery settling in mornings now. It currently takes me 1.5 hours to get both of up, breakfasted and out the door (I'm hoping this reduces with a bit of practice), so I think in your shoes I'd need to be up at 6.

I used to give dd1 a bottle at 7.30, get her dressed while she drank it, out the door at 7.45. She had breakfast at nursery and it's a big part of why we didn't use a childminder!

Do you need to give him milk in the morning & how long does it take to get to your parents??
I would work backwards from starting work including all the stages, like the walks to and from the bus stops and a few mins handover at your parents etc to figure out what time.
I get mine up at 7 latest to be out of the house at 7:35-40 and I get up around 6:20, but it was much easier when they were tiny and didn't have an opinion about what they would/wouldn't wear, want to change between knickers & nappy, put own shoes on etc.
Having said that DD1 has barely slept past 6-6:30 since birth and she's 6 now!

Thank you everyone

• I don't want to think about it but have to as it will be at the back of my mind and time flies and it will be November before I know it

I am going to time everything just do a test run before I return back to work. I also think 6am for me and 7am for him sounds good :)

I'm new here today was the day I signed up !

I've got 2 kids but regardless of how many there are (it was the same with one) I need 1.5hrs to get them and myself dressed, having breakfast and teeth brushed. Everything needs to be organised the night before, clothes laid out, bags, cardis, coats, shoes by the front door. Also all my stuff needs to shorted too.

All three of us get up at 6.30. We take turns getting DS (18 months) milk and starting to get him dressed while the other one showers then swap. All out of the house 30 minutes after waking but doesn't involve breakfast. DS has it at nursery, I get it on way into work and DH doesn't bother
