I can see that pushing bedtime back will be easy enough - I'm not sure how I'm going to push waketime back though! Ah well, I'm just going to play it by ear, see what happens ]]> Fri, 01 Apr 2011 07:31:13 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38595&PID=1297071&title=daylight-savings-babies#1297071 <![CDATA[daylight savings & babies : oh right i see what i did there...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38595&PID=1297051&title=daylight-savings-babies#1297051 Author: Plushie

oh right i see what i did there - i thought fall back so time would go from 1 - 2, back being later in my head. Duh. I blame baby brain...i can still use that excuse right?

Might start working on it, DS put himself out for the night at 3 (!?) and despite me waking him at 5 for food and bath etc resisted the process so had a very early bedtime hence me awake and online at 3am!]]> Fri, 01 Apr 2011 02:58:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38595&PID=1297051&title=daylight-savings-babies#1297051 <![CDATA[daylight savings & babies : Clocks go back, so usually bedtime...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38595&PID=1296895&title=daylight-savings-babies#1296895 Author: Jaxnz1

Clocks go back, so usually bedtime becomes an hour earlier and wake time is an hour earlier. A good idea is to start now with pushing everything later by 15mins each week or even day if they can cope.

I've always had a problem with DD and daylight savings, last winter I could not for the life of me make her stay up any later than 6/6:30pm. Hopefully now she's a bit older it may be easier. I am lucky though that she sleeps 12 hours+ at night. Have to admit, it's quite nice having her go to bed so early. We have to get up at 6:30am anyway.]]> Thu, 31 Mar 2011 19:31:24 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38595&PID=1296895&title=daylight-savings-babies#1296895 <![CDATA[daylight savings & babies : we&#039;re the same as Sheza-...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38595&PID=1296867&title=daylight-savings-babies#1296867 Author: Mum2ET

we're the same as Sheza- never done anything to prepare them for it and never had a problem.

Nope, it's going to go back?? Hence why it gets darker earlier...? And goes forward for summer hence it getting darker later...

You may not even notice a change but you may, guess you'll have to wait and see! ]]> Thu, 31 Mar 2011 15:42:55 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38595&PID=1296730&title=daylight-savings-babies#1296730 <![CDATA[daylight savings & babies : changes this Sunday ]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38595&PID=1296721&title=daylight-savings-babies#1296721 Author: caliandjack

I do with the dog! I was actually hopefully as DS doesnt seem capable of staying up past 5 - thats bedtime as far as he is concerned and can't be swayed from it! Was hoping that would move back to 6 but now you're saying its going to move foward to 4?

We are going into 'fall' so we Fall back

no Idea on the baby front, but I know it messes with the dogs & their feeding times (well when they think they are going to be fed!), so no doubt will do to babies as well - Good Luck!]]> Thu, 31 Mar 2011 14:55:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38595&PID=1296697&title=daylight-savings-babies#1296697 <![CDATA[daylight savings & babies : Not sure what happens, I am pretty...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38595&PID=1296690&title=daylight-savings-babies#1296690 Author: High9

Not sure what happens, I am pretty sure it goes forward?

DD was maybe less than 6 weeks old I think this time last year and we didn't notice any change! But roll on summer starting day light savings and 6.30/7am wake ups became 5am wake ups - 6am wake ups lol but after maybe a month or less she changed it and decided to sleep until 7.30-8am and has been doing that since maybe Dec/January?! ]]> Thu, 31 Mar 2011 14:51:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38595&PID=1296690&title=daylight-savings-babies#1296690 <![CDATA[daylight savings & babies : Do the clocks go forward? i just...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38595&PID=1296676&title=daylight-savings-babies#1296676 Author: _SMS_
