When I clean up dinner I just dish out lunches at the same time. Then throw together any extras and it’s all ready.
Also regardless of what time my daughter wakes up we never go get her before 7am. We have done this since we started her routine around 8-weeks old. I need time to myself in the morning to get ready and with a traveling husband it’s usually just me. Of course a few tears were shed here and there in the beginning, but nothing a paci couldn’t solve. Now it’s her normal and she seems to love the time to just ‘be’ if she’s already awake.
The best part is just feeling good about what you got goin’ and it sounds like you do!

I always found that being up and completely ready before they were up the biggest help. That and making lunches the night before! Good luck!
