Tip #1: Stick to Your Routines


A short, sweet, and simple nap and bedtime routine is your secret weapon during the clock change. It serves as a powerful signal that it's time to wind down for sleep.

Start this routine today with a 15-minute wind down before every nap and a 30 minute routine before bedtime each night.

Tip #2: Sunlight Is Your Super Power

Light is one of the biggest signals to our bodies that it’s time to wake up. Try to expose your baby to as much natural light as possible in the morning. Here’s how; Open the curtains, go for a morning walk, check the post, feed in a sunny window or have brekkie out in the garden. This will help reset their body clock and get them in sync with the new time.



Tip #3: Sleep Is All About Darkness


The clock change can leave your baby feeling tired at the wrong times. Making darkness your new best friend when it comes to sleep. In the evenings, dim the lights and create a darker environment as you approach bedtime. This helps signal to your baby’s brain that it’s time to sleep, even if the clocks say otherwise. Blackout blinds are a must, especially at this time of year. Can't afford the blackout blinds, use tin foil, cardboard, or dark-coloured sheets to block out any unwanted light.






Armed with three simple strategies you should be wget through the clock change easier.
