My 6 month old used to sleep until 7 am, since the time change she now gets up at 6am,(i know her body still thinks it's 7am)this means that her naps are now an hour earlier, she still goes down at the same time,(i tried pushing it back but it is impossible) how can i help her get back to the 7am? I don't want to leave her in her crib becouse she will cry, and she doesn't understand the clocks went back, any advice??
If I were you, I'd keep the same schedule and ignore the time change. Otherwise, you are going to mess up her schedule and in 6 months have to change it back again which will be harder on her.
Even though she may cry i would try moving nap and bedtime, she would get use to it. Crying never hurt a baby
I agree with changing a tiny bit at a time. We are doing that with my son, 10 months old. He's almost back to his "regular" schedule. (I think the whole changing time thing is just silly and really messes with kids, but I suppose we have to put up with it.) We've been going in 10 minute increments with him, and he seems to be doing okay.
I also think just pushing back the bedtime a little bit at a time will eventually do it. She'll adjust - hopefully!
I know you said it's impossible to push bed time back, do you think you could push it back maybe 15 minutes at a time until her body can adjust? And do the same thing with naptime? Maybe that could help. Good luck.
HI THERE!! I am sorry your having a problem with the time change, i did too. What I did was lay down with my daughter to make her feel extra comfy and let her sleep for about an hour and 45 mins to 2 hours to let her rest up and I keep her up till about 8:30 or so on the new time and now shes back to normal again :) GOOD LUCK!
