I think the key is to just suck it up the first few days. It helped when I worked since I have to stay awake during the day! My dad travels a lot for work, and I can see that age makes it harder & harder to deal w/ jet lag.

We have a 9 month old. Just a bit of light sleeping or short MOTN wake-ups for baby, and I am up early, but only because I can never get back to sleep when I get woken up. The only real time change struggle I had was 12 hours - that one took a couple of days! hotchildinthecity on "How badly does jet lag affect you?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-badly-does-jet-lag-affect-you#post-1591692 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 07:13:38 +0000 hotchildinthecity 1591692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I'm not a person that needs tons of sleep so i'm okay usually. looch on "How badly does jet lag affect you?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-badly-does-jet-lag-affect-you#post-1591637 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 06:42:13 +0000 looch 1591637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I am usually a mess going to Europe, but coming back to the US, I am okay.

Usually just a couple of days for me either way (eastward or westward). DH has a harder time. For LO it was just one or two nights but he was still really small (5/6m). birdofafeather on "How badly does jet lag affect you?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-badly-does-jet-lag-affect-you#post-1591498 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 23:35:10 +0000 birdofafeather 1591498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ i kinda forget, but it's going to be a shock with a LO as we're going to hawaii saturday! i'm prepared to be up at 4:30 on sunday morning.

But it's a lot harder when we get back. We just got back from visiting my parents in LA and it took the kids a couple of days to get back on track. When we visit Mr. Bee's parents in the Philippines (12 hours ahead), it takes the kids at least a week to get back on track. It can take us a month! It's pretty torturous.
