\nhappier.\u00a0 Everything starts to come ALIVE.<\/p>\n
I find Spring is such a rejuvenating time of year! I love seeing the trees blossoming, the grass getting green and people becoming
\nhappier.\u00a0 Everything starts to come ALIVE.<\/p>\n
One thing that happens in the Spring, that parents either love or hate, is Daylight Saving Time.<\/p>\n
Some parents love it because their baby who has an early bedtime (6pm) will now have a later bedtime (7pm).\u00a0 This can be\u00a0awesome for social reasons of course \u2013 parents don\u2019t have to rush home so early to get their baby to bed \u2013 or the working mom and dad can now spend more evening time with their baby before whisking them off to bed for sleep.<\/p>\n
Other parents hate it because they now will have to put their children to sleep later.\u00a0 Moms and Dads get used to routine and having down time \u2013 just as much as children do! \u00a0So the thought of your child being in bed at 8pm, instead of 7pm can lead to a FULL-ON-PANIC-MODE for parents. \u00a0And yes, I\u2019m one of those parents that go into FULL-ON-PANIC-MODE when my self time is cut by one hour, I\u2019ll admit it.\u00a0 Parents need that time to rejuvenate, get organized and reconnect with their partner \u2013 it\u2019s crucial to your well-being as a parent!<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t worry I have solutions to get bedtime back to 7 \u2013 I got you covered! \u00a0Here\u2019s some pointers:<\/p>\n
For Toddlers and Young Children<\/strong>:\u00a0\u00a0On Sunday night your child may be falling asleep at their regular body time of 7pm (new time will be 8pm).\u00a0\u00a0Put them to sleep 7:30 (new time) for three days, then on the fourth night switch them to their regular bedtime of 7:00pm (new time).\u00a0\u00a0Keep in mind they will be going to bed \u00bd hour earlier.<\/p>\n For Babies<\/strong>:\u00a0 As I stated, for babies that go to sleep really early, you don\u2019t need to do a thing.\u00a0 Their 6pm bedtime will now become a 7pm bedtime \u2013likely better for everyone.\u00a0 But if your baby has a 7pm bedtime already, I would suggest shifting his\/her naptimes and bedtime earlier 15 minutes EVERY day and night until you reach his\/her regular\u00a0naptimes and bedtime.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s to Sleeping Well!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" One thing that happens in the Spring, that parents either love or hate, is Daylight Saving Time.
