When I go back to work in September, we have to be out of the house by 6:30am...God knows what time we'll have to be up! *shudder* </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-it-take-to-get-both-you-and-lo-ready-in-the-morning#post-191845 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 17:32:17 +0000 Teachermama 191845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wake up about 5:30. Depending if he is up early, I'll get him ready first, if not then I eat &amp; get ready. We leave about 7:00. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-it-take-to-get-both-you-and-lo-ready-in-the-morning#post-191811 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 16:52:09 +0000 skibobrown 191811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not back at work yet, but when we have our morning therapy appointments, we usually need 1.5-2 hours to get ready. It takes at least 30 minutes to feed, diaper, and dress the baby, then I play with her a little bit... then I put her down in her crib to entertain herself (and hopefully nap!) while I get myself ready and prepare the diaper bag for the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-it-take-to-get-both-you-and-lo-ready-in-the-morning#post-191786 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 16:09:31 +0000 MsMamaBear 191786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wake up at 5:30 and we leave at 6:30. I shower, get dressed, then get her ready. I pack her bag at night, so all we have to do is put her bottles in and her food. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-it-take-to-get-both-you-and-lo-ready-in-the-morning#post-191773 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 15:53:45 +0000 jennylynn 191773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO doesn't go to daycare, but I usually get her up and ready for the day before I leave for work. Without a shower it takes 1 1/2 hours. With a shower 2 hours. But that includes feeding, dressing, feeding the dog, and packing her diaper bag for when my husband takes her to her grandmas. Before LO I could roll out of bed and be out the door for work in half an hour if I had to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-it-take-to-get-both-you-and-lo-ready-in-the-morning#post-191759 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 15:43:28 +0000 Honeybee 191759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both kids go to daycare two days a week, while I do all the cleaning, errands and do my schoolwork. DH and I both get up at 5 so we can get ourselves and the kids ready to leave the house by 7:30! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-it-take-to-get-both-you-and-lo-ready-in-the-morning#post-191009 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 07:45:29 +0000 Andrea 191009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I used to commute, I would wake up at 6 to get myself ready. Then get DD up at 6:45 and out the door at 7:30. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-it-take-to-get-both-you-and-lo-ready-in-the-morning#post-191005 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 07:43:30 +0000 regberadaisy 191005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're only a week into this but ~1.5hours. We're up at 6:30am and out the door by 8:00. Last few mornings LO has woken up around 5:30 so I nurse her then put her back in the crib. She's stayed asleep long enough for my husband and I to both shower.</p> <p>My mom's also still here so we've been able to hand her off and get stuff together, eat breakfast, etc. I imagine it'll take a bit longer when she's no longer here to help! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-it-take-to-get-both-you-and-lo-ready-in-the-morning#post-190975 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 07:22:43 +0000 Rubies 190975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you work and your LO goes to daycare, how long does it take to get ready and out the door?</p> <p>Do you wake up and get ready and then wake up LO? </p>
