Jetlagged baby - help!

[PurlyQueen]

We spent three weeks in the Caribbean over Christmas as my mum lives there. Boy, am I paying for it now we are back in the UK!

My 9-month old is still on Caribbean time - he has just gone to bed and it's midnight.

How can I nudge him back into his old routine? I can't cope for long with these late bedtimes!

Gradually bring it forward a bit each night?

For the first couple of days back, let him sleep during the day time (though not for more than 2 or 3 hours at a stretch). Try to keep him awake in the afternoon and get some daylight/exercise with him. Adopt your normal routine at home and normal wake up time. He'll adjust eventually - may take a week or so though (so I'd sleep whenhe does if I were you).
