Gina adjusted well today - woke up at 7am and didn't go to bed until until around 8:30pm which is normal for her. Yey!

ETA: She did have a mid-day nap still, my reply makes it sound like she didn't

Michaela woke at 4:15am so I gave her a bottle and she slept for another hour before deciding it was time to get up so I went into her bedroom and snoozed on her bed while she played around me.

She was shattered this afternoon. She had a wee sleep in church (no more than 30 mins) then didn't get to sleep again until about 2pm as we had family over for her birthday party. Went to bed really well tonight.]]> Sun, 06 Apr 2008 20:38:19 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16001&PID=346856&title=adjusting-for-time-change#346856 <![CDATA[Adjusting for time change : we had an early start here- at...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16001&PID=346752&title=adjusting-for-time-change#346752 Author: Mum2ET

we had an early start here- at 5.30 Ella decided that she wanted to have a little party at least I managed to get her to go back down to sleep at 6.30 (otherwise it would have been a longggg morning).

Uh-oh. I just realised today that I had very carefully arranged Michaela's birthday party for tomorrow morning to start at 10:30am about an hour before she normally starts getting tired and moody. Bugger! With daylight savings everyone will be turning up just as she'd normally be winding down for her daytime sleep.

On another note I decided to shift her bedtime out by 15 mins tonight. I'm only going to do this tonight and tomorrow night as over summer her bedtime was 7:30pm but I'd prefer she go down at 7pm - we'll see how long this lasts. ]]> Sat, 05 Apr 2008 22:06:14 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16001&PID=345938&title=adjusting-for-time-change#345938 <![CDATA[Adjusting for time change : I keep it in mind the day before,...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16001&PID=345563&title=adjusting-for-time-change#345563 Author: busymum

I keep it in mind the day before, ie today, and at this time of year stretch out their sleeps (and dinner time if they can handle it) so they'll all be going to bed late tonight in the hope that no one will wake before 7am actual time in the morning ]]> Sat, 05 Apr 2008 14:41:57 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16001&PID=345563&title=adjusting-for-time-change#345563 <![CDATA[Adjusting for time change : We won&#039;t do anything.

As far as I'm concerned the time is the time, whether it's going back or forwards.

The only difference to me is that I'll be able to get Nyah into bed earlier. Past experience has taught me to just handle the jandle.

We don't do anything to prepare.]]> Fri, 04 Apr 2008 14:23:48 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16001&PID=344553&title=adjusting-for-time-change#344553 <![CDATA[Adjusting for time change : The Sleep Store have some good...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16001&PID=344533&title=adjusting-for-time-change#344533 Author: Maya

I got an article via email about gradually adjusting our kids routine in the lead up to the end of daylight savings.

Do you do anything to prepare in your house or just let things run their course?

The article I read suggesting putting them down for the night and getting them up in the morning 15mins earlier each day from yesterday until Sunday.

When Elle was a baby time change meant nothing but it took her weeks to adjust when daylight savings started a few months ago. The above suggestion would USUALLY work for us as Elle is a 7.30 to 7.30 girl BUT over the last 3 days she's not settled until nearer to 8.30pm and been up at 6.30. If this continues it will become 5.30am after the time change!   

So typical of bubbas to change things right when you don't want them too LOL!
