Clocks going back soon!

Hello!
I have a lovely 7 month DD who seems to think 5am is a fantastic waking time. It's been like this for a good few months now (she has slept through since about 5 months) and I'm just about coping with it. Anyway, the clocks go back in a few weeks and I'm dreading our day starting at 4am...
Any thoughts are appreciated!
She's in a good routine and is down for 7pm each night (keeping her up later has no impact on her waking time- last night I kept her up until half 7 and she was still awake at 5.05am!)

I tend to find it doesn't affect them as much as you think. Mine have all adjusted within a week.

I guess becuase the rest of the days move around.

I remember when my ds was similar and i was worried when the clocks went back it would his sleeeping pattern up but honestly they just seem to naturally adapt. It maybe also that its actually light ar 5am whereas in winter it certainly won't be and she might wake up see its dark and just rollover and go back to sleep.
