Anyone else out there with a confussed baby/toddler? Just when we were getting Maddy back on track sleep wise.She is going to sleep later and waking earlier than ever! Doesnt help that even my body clock is out of wack. Hopefully we can adjust in a few days! Its only an hour but it is stii strange.

We are just going with the flow.. Harley is now going to bed at 8pm (instead of 7) and once he gets into a routine at daycare,then it will help here. We had to wake him up at 7.10am this morning to go to daycare; it was like he was never going to wake up.. Although we are happy for him NOT to change his routine if this happens as in the next 1.5 months, he will have to get use to two time changes.. 1 for QLD and 1 for NT.



Thanks

Hi all,

Well Charli took one day to get into daylight savings routine. She didn't go to bed until 8:30 Monday night but last night she went to bed at 7:30 normal time. We just kepp her up yesterday arvo. Worked wonders.

I think what has set off Maddy was the fact that on saturday we drove to Condoblin and back (a 3 hour trip each way) - the trip there was fine but we assumed (wrongly) that if we left at 6pm and drove home she would sleep, obviously she didnt so when we got home at around 930pm she needed/wanted to have a little play and went to bed late and the same night daylight savings happended.
She woke at 540am morning but I managed to resettle her and put a blanket over the window and get her to sleep until 720am so hopefully we can get into a "normal" routine today.

I thought DST would mean Magnus would move his bedtime to 7pm as he's been zonked out by 6, but no, he was back down at 6 last night. It's made no difference and I wanted it to change!
