I wake up my children at 7 and dress them (at once/immediately/right away).

Yo habría dicho: "y en seguida los visto".
"de seguido" me hace entender que estás acostumbrado a hacerlo. No tiene, para mi, el significado 'inmediatamente'.

I suppose the misunderstanding may be my fault. 'Immediately/at once/right away' more closely matches 'en seguida', but 'de seguido', which can be translated as 'following that/after that/afterwards/next', could still be understood as the action that happens right after waking the children up.
