This will be my first daylight savings change over since having Brenna - what do you do regarding their routine?? She is onto such a good bed-time and waking -up time at the moment... will it all go out the window in a couple of weeks?? ------------- My beautiful 2 girls...nearly 4 and 13 months

Don't worry about Brenna, at 4 months her schedule still has a lot of changes to do. Just keep the "old time" in mind until you get the hang of it. When kids are older you can change their times 1/2 hour one or two days before, and then the next 1/2 hour - instead of doing a whole hour at once. ------------- |

WHy they don't make this school holidays to school holidays is beyone me. Last October was the first one in my teaching career where it fell on the middle weekend of the hoildys - it made a huge difference for the kids who had had a week to adjust instead of suffering for the first week back at school as it falls so often on the last weekend of the holidays! -------------

Hopefully it won't affect her too much. We just arrived back from Sydney (2 hour time difference) and the day we got back their feeds were all up the chute, I still put them down at 7pm (NZ time) even tho it was only 5pm Aust time) and they slept thru till 9am (! they must have been shattered!) then the next night I put them down at 7pm NZ time again and they've been fine ever since. They're so adaptable at that age. Maya was much harder when daylight savings started last Oct coz she said "it's not dark time" and was a mission to get to bed! ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)
