Daylight savings
Is anyone doing anything to prepare for daylight savings in a couple of weeks time? My LO gets up at 5am at the best of times, so with the clocks changing, he’s likely to bring that to 4am 😵💫😴 I’m already exhausted, as is he (he’s either teething or has a cold as well, so we’ve had very little sleep the last 2 nights). I had thought of gradually making bedtime a bit later but he’s so overtired anyway from this little illness/sleep regression that he’s screaming to be put to bed at 6pm.

I'm trying to push bedtime back a little every few nights. Been doing it for about a week. My lo was going down at 6/6.30 and waking at 5/6. She's now on average going to bed at 7/7.15 and waking at 7/7.30 I'm hoping to get her doing 8-8 by thr time the clocks change so she will be doing 7-7 but then again she's a baby and does whatever she wants so could go to pot haha
I honestly haven't thought that far ahead. If it becomes an issue I'll tackle it when it arises. However, having worked with a lot of children they often reset themselves within a week and just get used to the new time
With my first, I did the gradual bedtime push back over a week and it worked well. But she was 10 months and on a good sleep schedule.
This time around bedtime is still at different times most nights because his naps are random through the day, so I have no clue what will work 🤪🫠
Mornings will be lighter so prepare for that… maybe try a slightly longer or extra day nap to help push bedtime back a bit… use the day to fix the nights as they say
