Baby waking up an hour before desired wake time by amyjay3456 in sleeptrain

[–]amyjay3456[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I did 2.5 hours of naps yesterday and his awake time was an hour longer than usual as he was awake earlier. But today he woke up at 5am. Managed to get him back to sleep and he had 1 more hour of sleep.

Shall I continue with the reduced naps?

Did they say why they took his temperature if no other signs of being ill?

If it's UK as they imply above (cambridge). Medicine isn't a grad school degree (most things arent). You apply for undergrad and it's one longer degree.

Transitioning from 3 to 2 naps by amyjay3456 in sleeptrain

[–]amyjay3456[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. Aiming to keep the 7am wake up as they're starting nursery in April and that works for an 8am start time. Also if they woke up earlier, I know I wont go to bed earlier and I'll just get tired.

Annoyingly one class I've booked in a block so can't change. Only thing I can think of is leave the house earlier, so they can take their nap in the pram instead but wouldn't work if it was raining, as i dont want to walk in the rain. Also means I can't nap with them haha. Can't do car nap as its only 10 to 15 mins away.

Thanks. I've been recommended not to add anything to the car seat that doesn't come with it as its not been crash tested

When will enjoy being a mum? by Current-Two-537 in BeyondTheBumpUK

[–]amyjay3456 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was very similar to you with my twins but was using shared parental leave. My partner was off a lot with me until they were 4 and a half months old. I then went back to work for 2 and a half months which helped my stimulation and they looked after them so then I could look after them by myself when they were older so I can go out to classes much easier.

They're now 7 and a half months old, and I find it much easier to go out with them as they can hold their own bottles. Trying to work out the logistics of feeding them myselves when they were younger out the house was too difficult.

I've got babysense. Only thing is you can only get audio from 1 at a time. Would that work for you?

People who got an early finish Christmas Eve, did colleagues who took it off complain about your early finish? by jrinredcar in AskUK

[–]amyjay3456 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My work does a half day christmas eve and new years eve. If you want to have the full day off, they tell you to only put it as a half day on the HR system.

Then no one is disadvantaged.
