Many parents have recently been asking how to handle daylight savings and their child’s sleep schedule. Some parents who have babies on a very early schedule, i.e. going to bed at 6:30pm and waking at 5:30am, may consider not changing this schedule at all. With the time change the baby’s bedtime will be 7:30pm and s/he will wake at 6:30am. If you decide to not change your schedule keep in mind that if your child begins to wake earlier and earlier, adjusting to the time change, that his/her bedtime needs to correspond. For those interested in adjusting their schedule I have recently written an article on how to do this. Please go to the following link: “Your Child’s Sleep: Making Adjustments During Daylight Savings Time.”
