We have it on in the morning from around 7-9.30 depending on what our routine is for the day- ie if we have to take Gaby to kindy then it goes off at 8.30. Usually doesnt come back on again till late arvo, around 3pm if I can help it. Upon saying that some days when Gaby is having a lazy day we will turn it on whilst Alex is having his mid-day nap but that is maybe only twice a week.
