T is an early riser so he usually wakes me up by cooing and babbling in his crib and I hear him through the monitor. He lays and plays with his stuffed animals and blanket for up to 30 mins. Sometimes I take advantage of it and lay in bed until he starts whining to get up, but most of the time I go in after about 10 mins.

I think it's important to let him have that time to himself as long as he's happy and playing. DH wants to go get him up as soon as he wakes up in the mornings or from naps. I keep asking him how he would feel if someone yanked him out of bed as soon as he opened his eyes!

How long will your LO lay in bed? How long do you let them?
