This might be a really stupid suggestion as I have absolutely no idea what having children is like yet (lol) but is there any way you could teach Daniel to feed himself his breakfast? That might save some time.

As I say, total novice a parenting so no idea!

he does feed himself but he makes that much of a mess that its quicker sometimes for you to do it,specialy if hes having weetabix or something equaly as messy

LOl know this routine only too well!! My girls still have brekkie at 10am as cannot manage any sooner so no advice but to let you know you are not alone. I am so unorganised anyway which is why i am about to sweep and mop my living room at this ridiculous hour!!!

oh thank god,its not just me then

Im weaning mine now too! Hard work! x

same problem for me here...
and my little angel is 3 - she still cannot REALLY manage breakfast alone!!!!!
my twins are 1 now - and i have started staggering breakfast.
twin 1 has his between 6am - 7am
twin 2 is woken up at 7 am - and gets hers
3 year old is sung to and prodded awake at 8am.

then we are ready to get out of the house for 9.30 -and go to play group
(i break a sweat though! lol)

we are training hard as 3 year old goes to school in september -and we need to get there ......

I must be really organised boys (10 months) have bottle when they wake about 6-7am hubby gives luke (23 months) his bottle when he wakes 7ish then boys get fed at same time their porridge about 7.30-8am and Luke sits at his little table and eats his breakfast, or if he up later we eat together. Boys normally go back to sleep after breakfast about 8.30ish. I dont find weaning too hard just involve the older one with helping.
