Daylight saving and baby

[ffsagain123]

Had grand plans to shift our 13 month olds DWT and bedtime to take into account the weekend. She’s had crap naps at nursery this week resulting in waking earlier so last night was an early bed. Should I be fretting that we haven’t managed to do much? Rescheduled vaccinations tomorrow so may help or hinder us. Normally get her up about 6.30, not wanting or looking forward to an early wake but assume normal service will resume after a week. Didn’t need to bother last year since she was just new out the oven.

Any advice/exp welcome. Or just tell me to roll with/suck it up.

Didn't both last year my DC1 was a similar age. Made no jot of difference.

Thanks, was hoping to hear that!

I'm dreading this. 9 month old up at 5am normally.

I normally just do bedtime a bit later on the night. Give a little cat nap if needed or longer lunchtime nap to compensate later bedtime. What works for us usually......

@ChittyBang1987 I'm hoping we can do this on Saturday ( poss tomorrow as she'll be off nursery due to jabs). She sleeps great for naps at home so hoping we can do it in the two days...sigh

I haven't done this with a baby yet, but my dog doesn't know the clock so every year it's a week or two of slightly earlier routine and then it naturally adjusts. Gonna assume baby won't be too different! I suggest trying to ignore the clock anyway and keep to your natural schedule and it won't disrupt anything. So when it's Monday morning 5.30am your body still thinks it's 6.30 as does your baby 🤷‍♀️

Never did anything different with either of our two (now 2&1) for any of the clock changes, yes they usually get up earlier/later depending on which one it is, but we always stuck to their nap and bedtimes so it only lasted the one day and they were back to normal 🤷‍♀️

I haven't two children, both under 5. I've never adjusted nap schedule for the clocks, you just end up getting up really early the Sunday morning but they just go to bed at the same time in my experience and the next day that just wake up at the new adjusted normal time and then you forget about it 😁😁 I wouldn't worry op x

Sorry I have I meant

Thanks all, seems like of we don't adjust anything/it goes pete tong then it'll adjust itself afterwards. Maybe I'll forego my one glass of wine on Saturday night just incase ha ha! I like my sleep too much like most.
