How do you get two adults and a 10 month old ready to leave the house by 7.30 every morning?

I'm going back to work in two weeks and have no idea how we are going to all get clean, fed and dressed without getting up at 4am (although that's often when dd wakes so it might be the start of our day ) and without having tears from any of us. How do other families manage this?

its doable. i get up at 6.10. get myself ready then baby (14 months) ready, breakfast then leave house. we leave at 7am....
no time to mess about tho but its doable.
have to say im quite low maintance tho....my hair is quickly dried and i dont bother with makeup!

Get everything ready the night before i.e. clothes (for all of you), bags for nursery/CM/work all packed, shower in the evening rather than the morning. If possible have the baby have his/her breakfast at the CM/nursery and pack a breakfast for you in your work bag.

DH worked away for five years. I got up school age DD and baby DS and worked full time.

One 10 month old will be a piece of piss once you get into a routine. Honest.
