She would wake up and either nurse and try to go back to sleep, or not nurse and just want to play, smile at us. </p> <p>I ended up nursing her at daycare before I left. It works well because the drive to school wakes her up and then she's hungry and ready to eat by the time we get there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-to-wake-your-lo-up-in-the-morning#post-320529 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 09:49:56 +0000 mediagirl 320529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@zippylef: @crash806: I usually have the light on, the dog comes in and sometimes I get on my phone....I'll try to eliminate all distractions and see if that helps. Thanks for the suggestions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-to-wake-your-lo-up-in-the-morning#post-320525 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 09:45:40 +0000 lavender 320525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree w/ @zippylef . M is 6 mths old and still easily distracted and like you I need to be out of the house around 630. She will nurse for 20 mins or so but I only do it in her room with no distractions, not even my phone, b/c she will find it! I won't even let DH in because he's a distraction to her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-to-wake-your-lo-up-in-the-morning#post-320518 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 09:41:44 +0000 loveisstrange 320518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sadly, not a phase. C is 6 months and still does this. lol. Have you tried feeding her in a quiet, darkened room? Less distractions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-to-wake-your-lo-up-in-the-morning#post-320487 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 09:20:30 +0000 mediagirl 320487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How do you get them to concentrate on eating when all they want to do is look around at the world?</p> <p>M is 16 weeks and we have to be out the door by 6:40am. I need to feed her before we leave so I start that around 6:10. Sometimes it takes a half hour to get her to eat because she's smiling at me (which I love, don't get me wrong) and looking at everything. </p> <p>Any suggestions on getting baby to wake up earlier or to concentrate while eating that early? I'm currently turning her light on at 6am and letting her wake up for a few minutes before I pick her up. She goes down by 6:30pm. Perhaps this is just a phase she is going through? </p>
