The Clocks Changing worked but was shortlived !

Hi everyone

Help !! We thought the clocks changing would solve all our problems and dd would wake up later. She now goes to bed an hour later, 7.15 - 7.30 ish and she was waking up at 6.45 then it changed to 6.30 and then 6 and then this morning, 5 again !!! We left her to chatter to herself for and then she went off to sleep again till 6.45 but not until about 6am !! Is anyone else having this problem - any recommendations ??

Not uncommon... if she isn't crying at 5, let her fall right back to sleep even if it is an hour later - I suspect it will pass.
I had thsi with DS... I don't remember how long it lasted for but I don't thnk it was too bad.

Snap, Tillysmummy! I thought it was too good to be true and sure enough for the past 3 days I've been woken at 6.15am by a little voice whispering: "Mummy, time to get up and open the pod on my Thunderbird 2 for me. OK, if you won't get up I'll get in your bed with you." Horrors!

It's a nightmare isn't it ! Here's us thinking that she'll sleep later in the morning because she's going to bed later and she sleeps less !! Aaargh !!! BTW, Pupuce, I have tried the Elena Scharlurg creams and they seem great.

Good to hearyou like the creams too...maybe you could post your opinion on that discussion.
Funny though because I talked about her creams several times and only now are several mums trying them ! With success as well it seems.

P.S. Putting your child to bed later does NOT necessarily mean they will get up later.
DS who is now up between 610 and 645 goes to bed at 7PM (he use to go to bed at 730 but he woke at 715.... now he is up earlier regardless).

Hi Pupuce

I know !! I keep telling DH that. He's convinced that if she goes to bed later she'll sleep later. If anything it seems to work the other way round ! She gets up earlier if she goes to bed later !! I keep trying to convince DH of this but he takes no notice !! Men, they always think they're right !
I will post about the creams but after I've used them for a litte longer so I know I can definitely attribute the success to the creams.
