I am looking forward to being able to put bubs to bed a bit later so we can have dinner a bit later, I'm hoping to shift dinner to 5.30pm and bedtime to 7pm, instead of dinner at 5 and bedtime at 6.30. ]]> Fri, 24 Sep 2010 18:44:10 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35774&PID=1161414&title=first-time-dealing-with-daylight-savings#1161414 <![CDATA[First time dealing with daylight savings! : Nice to know its not just us getting...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35774&PID=1159212&title=first-time-dealing-with-daylight-savings#1159212 Author: millymollymandy

Nice to know its not just us getting woken before 6! I have started a sleep log - def sleeps better at night with better days sleeps. Only thing is I don't want her going to sleep at 7.45 - like my evenings to myself.]]> Wed, 22 Sep 2010 15:57:53 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35774&PID=1159212&title=first-time-dealing-with-daylight-savings#1159212 <![CDATA[First time dealing with daylight savings! : I&#039;m hanging on for DLS....hopefully...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35774&PID=1158965&title=first-time-dealing-with-daylight-savings#1158965 Author: Emmecat

Same!! But then the other day we had a 5.30am wake up and I was thinking noooooooooooo don't wake up even earlier. I remember last time I was worried, but it wasn't a problem at all - probably çause he'was so little and not on a routine anyway. Or maybe I forgot.

I'm looking forward to it as the kids have started waking close to 6am at the mo, so that will be 7am soon! (hate it when it goes the other way!!!!!) With bedtime I just usually move it gradually over a couple of days, they seem to cope fine.]]> Fri, 17 Sep 2010 21:01:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35774&PID=1155647&title=first-time-dealing-with-daylight-savings#1155647 <![CDATA[First time dealing with daylight savings! : Ive never had an issue either,...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35774&PID=1154638&title=first-time-dealing-with-daylight-savings#1154638 Author: Shezamumof3

I've not really found the switch to be an issue.  I just put them to bed round about the normal time (which can vary by 15 or so minutes anyway).]]> Thu, 16 Sep 2010 20:08:39 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35774&PID=1154621&title=first-time-dealing-with-daylight-savings#1154621 <![CDATA[First time dealing with daylight savings! : I&#039;m not too worried DD is...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35774&PID=1154614&title=first-time-dealing-with-daylight-savings#1154614 Author: HoneybunsMa

I'm not too worried DD is used to staying up occasionally so we should be fine. I'm more worried about her waking up too early at the other end I'm not a morning person by any means.

But I have heard the 15min thing is the way to go. ]]> Thu, 16 Sep 2010 20:04:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35774&PID=1154614&title=first-time-dealing-with-daylight-savings#1154614 <![CDATA[First time dealing with daylight savings! : Lily has already started putting...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35774&PID=1154503&title=first-time-dealing-with-daylight-savings#1154503 Author: High9

Lily has already started putting herself to bed about 30 mins later than normal what with it being lighter now already. She is also waking between 7-7.30am used to be 6.30-7.]]> Thu, 16 Sep 2010 18:21:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35774&PID=1154503&title=first-time-dealing-with-daylight-savings#1154503 <![CDATA[First time dealing with daylight savings! : 15 mins adjustment works well....]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35774&PID=1154232&title=first-time-dealing-with-daylight-savings#1154232 Author: millymollymandy

We just went with the flow, and put him to bed at the usual time - around 7 pm, so on the day it was actually 8pm but we stretched him out a bit and he was fine. It was harder going the other way to be honest. ]]> Thu, 16 Sep 2010 13:44:02 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35774&PID=1154206&title=first-time-dealing-with-daylight-savings#1154206 <![CDATA[First time dealing with daylight savings! : Hi, there&#039;s some really good...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35774&PID=1154203&title=first-time-dealing-with-daylight-savings#1154203 Author: Jacobsmumma

Hi, there's some really good info on the Sleep Store website about this.  I read it last year but didn't actually need to do anything different as my DS just went down at his usual time (ie was in bed at 7pm regardless of the change).  Not sure if it'll be the same this year as he's nearly 15mo. 

Have a read of the attached link.

My son is 7 1/2 months, will be almost 8 months when daylight savings rolls around at the end of this month. He is up between 6 and 7am, and goes to bed at 7pm. Wakes once or twice a night for a feed.

What would your advice be for the change in time with daylight savings??? Do I try and move the bed time by 15 mins from now? And how does it work with wake up time? I can't really "change" it as such???

TIA! ]]> Thu, 16 Sep 2010 13:12:19 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35774&PID=1154169&title=first-time-dealing-with-daylight-savings#1154169
