In light of last nights thread, i thought i'd try and start an early morning Dads club for those desperate/bored fathers who are up in the middle of the night.
Welcome all 
Rusty (up since 3!)

Woke up silly o'clock mrshora couldn't tell his cries were hunger cries (anyone else notice different cries for different things?).
Sorted.
He then woke up again and I could tell he has a sore throat.
Sorted.
I finally fell asleep just after the alarm went off for 30blissful minutes.

Does it hell, I usually get up for work at 5:50. Jnr FD was up 2:00am - 3:00am last night (think hes on a growth spurt because as soon as he had milk he went straight back off to sleep)
As I left at 6:30 he was sound asleep

Yup. Part of the reason we taught her sign language so she could communicate better, earlier. Helps reduce the frustration on both sides.

Up at 3am today with DAAADDDDYYYY! coming from her room. Back to bed, nappy change, fruit pouch, DAAADDDYYY! another nappy change, cuddles, lessons on why we need to sleep at night, tears, chastisement, few more tears, more joos and finally quiet, just before the smaller one woke up bright and early at 5am.
So I got dressed and got an earlier train to work.
Btw, do you lot not put gates on their doors to stop them wandering about?

I've been up at 5 al week for work, got an epic lie in until 7 today. Its sunny and still out there, so when Eddy & mrs meehaja go to breastfeeding club I'm going riding! (new tyres to try out!)

+1 for the Gro clock - it's like magic. Our 2 year old sleeps brilliantly and part of that is down to the clock.
It's set for 6.20 in the week and 7am at weekends and, even if he wakes early, he stays in bed until it's time to get up. We then hear him shout 'Sun's up!' and he charges into our room to say hi.
His sister, on the other hand, is a disaster! Teething, tummy bug, separation anxiety and dummy dependency.

Would love to join you all fella's but my 3 month old sleeps in till 7.30am, having been fed at 2.30am and that's only as we wake him up half the time. Happy days.
I'm sure things will change, mind.

Morning all dads - both conscripts and civillian volunteers.
One of my stepsons was recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and I have to get up during the night to check his blood glucose levels and I invariably end up having to reprogram his insulin pump and/or check for infusion set leakages or stuff his face with glucose tablets if he's hypoing.
He's 14 in January and I've still got years of this in front of me...

gate on the door but he doesn't even get out of bed let alone try the door, just lies there shouting "Up....UP....uuuuup"Posted 5 months ago # -

Ha ha - no.
He sleeps from 7.15ish to 6.20/7 every day. Very rarely wakes up but if he does, he just goes back to sleep/ waits for the clock.
6.20's ok for him to get up as 1) his sister is awake anyway, 2) it means I get to play with him for a bit before I go to work and 3) it means he's likely to have a nap at lunchtime.
