When the clocks go back we keep him up later than usual the night before, and when they go forward I wake him up from his last nap early so that he'll be tired for bed earlier. Basically I pretend the clock has already changed when it comes to bedtime the night before. My kid has always been pretty easy-going when it comes to sleep though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thinking-ahead-and-scared-of-dst#post-1867538 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 08:52:51 +0000 BKCaribBaby 1867538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agree with Blackbird. Start putting her to bed 15 minutes earlier about 4 days out. My LO, who is an early riser and had just started to STTN, actually made the transition pretty well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thinking-ahead-and-scared-of-dst#post-1867531 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 08:50:13 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1867531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've never had a problem with DST in the fall, but in the spring is horrendous. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thinking-ahead-and-scared-of-dst#post-1867495 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 08:30:59 +0000 Mamasig 1867495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last year my older son woke up at 5 on Sunday but was normal after that. Hope little brother adjusts quick too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thinking-ahead-and-scared-of-dst#post-1867494 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 08:30:45 +0000 autumnlove 1867494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have never had big issues with time changes for either LO. Fingers crossed that it stays that way! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thinking-ahead-and-scared-of-dst#post-1867484 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 08:23:46 +0000 blackbird 1867484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do it in 15 min increments!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thinking-ahead-and-scared-of-dst#post-1867474 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 08:20:46 +0000 twodoghouse 1867474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Stop it you're freaking me out! I'm going to pretend DST doesn't happen and just refuse to change the clocks and just exist an hour off until spring. It's not like I have a lot of appointments I need to keep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thinking-ahead-and-scared-of-dst#post-1867457 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 08:14:03 +0000 avivoca 1867457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't have any trouble with it either time and knock on wood *knock knock* we won't have trouble this time either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thinking-ahead-and-scared-of-dst#post-1867448 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 08:07:31 +0000 mrs. wagon 1867448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>oh my god. Yesterday LMW woke up at 3:30. Uhh.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thinking-ahead-and-scared-of-dst#post-1867438 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 07:59:57 +0000 Dandelion 1867438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks...I haven't even thought about it until this post. :/ I think I'm more worried about M going to bed too early, rather than getting up earlier. I guess I'll just try to take it in stride.</p> <p>D is finally old enough for this to not have as much effect. In fact, it'll be easier to convince him to go to bed, cause he likes to be in bed before the son goes down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thinking-ahead-and-scared-of-dst#post-1867434 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 07:57:38 +0000 looch 1867434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't have any success in adjusting my son's schedule, I tried, but he still woke up when he wanted to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thinking-ahead-and-scared-of-dst#post-1867431 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 07:54:51 +0000 Smurfette 1867431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am scared of this. Last year R woke up at 5 am for two months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thinking-ahead-and-scared-of-dst#post-1867417 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 07:44:49 +0000 Mae 1867417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Stupid daylight savings time. WHY DO YOU EXIST. (I don't actually care. Just whining). </p> <p>So I'm thinking ahead because this is coming in just over a month and I want to think about if we need to start slowly moving LO's schedule now in preparation. </p> <p>Right now she goes to bed at 8:30 (asleep by 9 usually) and wakes up around 6. I wouldn't actually care about monkeying with her schedule for bedtimes' sake, because a 7:30 bedtime is fine for a 4 month old. But I don't want to get up at 5am. </p> <p>Is there anything I can do? I assume if it was easy to make babies sleep later... we'd all be well rested. But I didn't know if there was any way to slowly shift her schedule? </p> <p>Am I doomed? </p>
