He was still on 3 naps a day so we just adjusted naps and tried to make the best of it and go with the flow a little. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preparing-for-traveling-time-zones#post-2763890 Tue, 01 Aug 2017 13:33:16 +0000 Adira 2763890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not going to lie, I read the title of this thread as "Preparing for Time Traveling" :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preparing-for-traveling-time-zones#post-2763885 Tue, 01 Aug 2017 13:26:15 +0000 lamariniere 2763885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another vote for we don't adjust bedtimes. Three hours isn't that bad. The most we've ever done is 9 and it took my LOs (20 months and 4.5 years at the time) about 5 days to get over it.</p> <p>As for adjusting once you are at your destination, get outside as much as you can to get natural light. I also don't let them nap for more than 2 hours at a time the first few days (but 2 naps a day has been fine). Once they are more into the local schedule, napping goes back to normal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preparing-for-traveling-time-zones#post-2763865 Tue, 01 Aug 2017 12:41:37 +0000 Littlebit7 2763865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>By trying to adjust bedtimes pre-travel you are just expanding the potential widow for disastrous sleep.<br /> I just go with it, and go with the flow once we get there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preparing-for-traveling-time-zones#post-2763857 Tue, 01 Aug 2017 12:28:32 +0000 looch 2763857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have never been able to adjust bedtimes when travelling over time zones, I just deal with crazy sleep and wake times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preparing-for-traveling-time-zones#post-2763853 Tue, 01 Aug 2017 12:26:55 +0000 yoursilverlining 2763853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have never tried to move up/down bedtime in prep for travel. I try to book flights where I can adjust LO more easily on the first day if possible (like, overnight flights, early morning flights and then just keep her up until the normal bedtime hour in the new timezone, etc.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preparing-for-traveling-time-zones#post-2763850 Tue, 01 Aug 2017 12:23:34 +0000 nightcheese 2763850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We live on the west coast and will be traveling to Hawaii at the end of August so we will be 3 hours behind. My baby will be 10.5 months when we travel.</p> <p>How far in advance should we be pushing back her bedtime? Do we try to adjust the full 3 hours before we leave? Any tips to adjusting? </p> <p>We have tried pushing it back an hour which has thrown everything out of whack. I also feel like we are in a sleep regression/possible teething so everything is out of order right now. Thanks :) </p>
