As parents, we tend to get complacent about sleep, both for our kids and for ourselves. As soon as people announce that they have a baby on the way, we hear all of the, “Hope you’re not a fan of sleeping!” jokes, and we tend to accept those sleepless nights as the price of having kids. So when baby gets into the habit of waking up five times a night, we just try to shake it off and convince ourselves that it’ll pass eventually, and we’ll get back to sleeping once they’ve grown up.
But sleep, as I tell my clients so often, is not a luxury! Babies don’t fight sleep because their systems need less of it than their adult counterparts. On the contrary, they need a whole lot more! And today, I’d like to tell you exactly why!

Daylight savings time is coming up this weekend! ⏰
Most parents don’t mind it so much in the fall when they gain an extra hour. I get questions asking for the best way to handle daylight savings time and children’s sleep. So here it is: 👇

It really does have an effect on all of us, and it can increase our sleep debt – especially in children, who tend to be much more structured with going to bed at the same time every night and waking up at the same time every morning. That is usually why people notice it the most in young children.

So what is the best way to handle it?

My advice is to “split the difference.”

For “Fall Back,” my recommendation to all parents is just to leave the clocks alone so it’s not a psychologically upsetting event to see your little one up an hour earlier. Just get up at your usual time and start the day. After your cup of coffee and a bit of breakfast, then you can go around changing the clocks. It will feel much better this way, trust me!

If, for example, your little one usually takes a morning nap around 9:30, you will adjust this to 9:00 for the three days after the time change. It will be a bit of a push for your child, but not so much that it will cause much damage to their schedule. Do the same for the afternoon nap.

Let’s say your child usually goes to bed at 7 p.m, I recommend putting your child to bed at 6:30 p.m. for the first three days following the time change. (This will FEEL like 7:30 to your child.) And it will take about a week for your child’s body to get used to this. It takes everybody’s body roughly one week to adjust any kind of change in sleeping habits.

If you have children over the age of two, you can put a digital clock in the room and put a piece of tape over the minutes, so that they can see if it is 6 o’clock or 7 o’clock, but they cannot see the minutes, which often confuses toddlers. Just set the clock forward half an hour so that at 6:30 it says 7:00 and let them get up a little earlier than normal, knowing that, by the end of the week, they will be back on track and sleep until their normal wakeup time.

If you are dealing with a baby, you cannot do that. Do not rush in as soon as you hear your baby waking up, because you do not want to send a message that getting up at 6 a.m. is okay now. So if they normally wake at 7:00, but is now up at 6:00, wait till ten after the first day, and then twenty after the next, then 6:30 the next day and, by the end of the week, your baby’s schedule should be adjusted to the new time and waking up at their usual hour.

Sleep prop —>🤔🧐
Have you heard the term “sleep prop”before? Sleep props can come in all different forms, shapes and sizes.
Below 👇 are a few of the most common props.
They can play a large factor in a baby developing independent sleep skills, and can ultimately interfere.
Are all sleep props bad? Not necessarily!
Is a sleep prop interfering with your baby’s sleep, and need help removing it? Feel free to DM me! 😃
