I put my LO to bed at her normal time last night, and she woke up about an hour early today - which I expected.
I'm trying to get her to her normal nap time but she's exhausted! I'm thinking today will be an early nap and an "early" (but normal, to her!) bedtime.
Hopefully a couple days will get us back to normal?

I didn't change anything, but he's a pretty easy going baby. He woke up about 30 min before his usual wake up time and went down for his am nap as usual.

I didn't change anything. We'll see if he will be able to wait for his normal nap time without too much of a struggle!!

Not intentionally but they went to bed later because we had friends over.

Yes we put her to bed an hour later and it worked in our favour. Basically we just stretched out the whole day yesterday and put her down for naps a bit later than usual.

They usually wake up early for a day and then we get them back on track the next morning.

I didn't change anything, because I figured it would be easier to adjust once the clocks changed and everything had to move -- meals, naps, etc. I'm hoping to keep as close to normal bedtime as possible tonight with the hope that we'll be back to a normal-ish schedule in a few days. We'll see.
If I push his bedtime back at all from his usual 7:30 pm, he tends to wake an hour earlier (6am instead of 7-7:30am), so I was not looking to be up two hours earlier than usual.

We haven't changed anything for now. I'm going to let them figure it out on their own and I don't mind if we stay on an earlier schedule for a bit.

We went to Target this am so he could get a 10 minute car nap on the way because after waking at 4:15 he was MISERABLE by 8am. So I am hoping he will still take an afternoon nap around 12:30, and we will be able to do normal bedtime. I guess we shall see!

I've been wanting her to go to bed/wake up earlier, so I think I'll try to keep her on the old schedule. I'll put her to bed tonight at 7 or 7:30 instead of 8.

She had late nights on Thursday and Friday, and she happened to take a nap at 3pm on Saturday, pushing her bedtime pretty late. She slept in until 7am (8am). Finally a sleep win!
I am hoping to get her down by 8pm tonight.

She stayed up later because we were at a Halloween party, but it worked out well because she woke at her usual time.

We usually don't but he was up late because we took a day trip up north and was down an hour later than normal. Worked out well cuz he woke at his normal wake time at the new time! Woot!

Not purposely! She changed her nap routine yesterday &she ended up napping from 4 pm to 6 pm when bedtime is usually 7 so she didn't go down until 9! It totally wasn't on purpose though.

I dreamfed my LO (8 weeks) at 5am and he slept until we woke him at 730am. Phew!

I didn't change anything - in fact he went to bed an hour early b/c he didn't nap yesterday (he played in his crib 2 hours instead....). Today I hope he does nap and if he does we should be able to get him to his normal bedtime (i.e., the "new" 8 p.m.) He's currently partying in his crib though.

Not really intentionally, but we were out last night and he went to bed an hour later than normal. Worked like a charm, and he actually slept later than normal, even with the time difference. But I think that may have been Halloween catching up with him more than anything!

We didn't purposely change anything. LO1 went to bed a little later last night just because we were out and he woke up after 9 today, which was great!

We changed by 15 mins each day, the days leading up to the change...because a whole hour at nap/bedtime would have been too much.

I put her to bed an hour late last night & she woke up around her usual time (7:30 before the end of DST / 6:30 now), but she slept all night in her bed so I'll take it! Normally she has a wake up around 4 or 5.
We did naps at our usual times (actually her afternoon nap was later than usual) and bedtime on the slightly early side of our usual time.
Knock on all the wood but I think this schedule is agreeing with her. I think her bedtime may have been a little too early lately.

LO went to bed 8pm last night as we were out and I did the same time as well tonight (7pm). His usual bedtime is 7:30pm. Normal wake-up is 6:30-7am so would be 5:30-6am tomorrow.

Yes, we kept their schedules the same as the "old time", to take this opportunity to push up their bedtimes!
DS was down by 7 pm, and DD was down by 8:30 pm!! Hope it sticks.

We kept him up late on Friday and Saturday in order to help adjust. All Saturday, we pushed back his schedule by an hour in order to prepare him for the time change. It seemed to have worked!
