Can I ask what everyone does with their babies in the mornings, especially on weekends or when you don't have to get up for work.
At the moment if K waked after 6 she comes in bed with us, and will usually go back to slep for an hour or more sometimes. She does this weekdays with her dad too, sometimes coming in as early as 5.30, and yet other days she will stay asleep in her own cot till 7-7.30am.
Weekends she comes in with s when she wakes so we can get a lie in. She'll go off to sleep for an hour or so then once she wakes plays and watches tv on the bed with us.
I'm just concerned that this is a habit that won't be easy to break, and I don't know that I fancy her in with us for the next 5 years! Also when the new baby arrives and is in our room for the first few months I don't want her disturbiing them.
I feel she should be able to play with her toys to amuse herself in her cot until we get her up in the morning, but fear OH won't want to instigate this cos it'll either mean siting in her room with her for the first few mornings and watch her play so she knows she's not alone, or listening to her cry cos she wants attention, and trying to ignore her till she settles down.
am interested to know what you all do

It's so cute to watch though - must make an effort to video a bit more too as I've been a bit slack on that recently and don't want to miss such a fab stage!
