What to do when clocks go back?

Does anyone know how to manage this in terms of lo's sleep?

DD has started waking quite early, which will be even earlier when clocks go back soon.

I know it's no use just keeping dd up and putting her to bed an hour later cos of overtiredness so just wondered what to do?

Any advise or ideas?

Thanks

I do the same as gobblers and just go with the new time, pretending nothing has happened. This is DD2s first clock change, but this 'method' has worked fine so far on (rubbish sleeper) DD1 who is 2.5.

I don't want mine to magically adjust - she's waking at 4.30 these days. I'd like her to magically stop that! Didn't get to bed until after midnight so really looking forward to today Hmm

I treat it as jet lag and do the hard reset option.

That said DS currently does 9-9 with some random middle of the night wakings so 8-8 would suit me....

I've been dreading this for weeks too! With our twins I've started to push their day from 7-7 to 7.30 to 7.30 in the hope that it'll make things easier next week. They're still tending to be up well before 7 but I'm not giving them their morning milk until half 7 and they don't seem to mind.
As their sleeping is all over the place at the moment I'm just crossing my fingers!
