Aaaaaaand the dreaded Daylight Savings begins! Worry not! We’ve got plenty of tips to help you Spring Forward! 🌼🌸🌺

Didn’t get a chance to plan ahead?! It’s OK!!!! First, BREATHE! Then check out this advice from Becci Binquist Certified Sleep Consultant, Postpartum Doula & Instructor for our Introductory Sleep Class Sleep: Getting Your Newborn Off to a Good Start:

“If you are a ‘fly by the seat of your pants’ person, this option might suit you best! Sometimes just thinking about planning for this time change can be stressful in itself, so sit back and relax and let nature take its course.

On the day of, simply go about your day. You will want to be aware that your little one will be tired later than normal and you might have to adjust naps and bedtimes a bit. Eventually, they will adjust to the new time change within a few days/weeks.”

WHAT IF I HAVE A NEWBORN?
If you have a newborn, no need to panic. Daylight Saving will probably affect you the least. Until your child is on a 2-nap schedule (around 6 months), I recommend still paying close attention to his awake windows and your child’s sleep cues as your guide. No need to stress or prepare. When your baby wakes up the morning of the time change, simply go about your day as you normally would, using those wake windows to put your little one down at the appropriate time. If you need a simple guide for Awake Windows, check out the link below and click on “Awake Windows”. Your baby will eventually adjust to the new time change within a week. You can try to push his awake window by a few minutes as long as he doesn’t become overtired.

If your child is not doing 2 naps a day, follow the above advice by focusing on awake windows.

EXTRA TIPS:
Assure that you have blackout blinds or curtains so that the early morning light won’t affect their sleep. If a sliver of light comes though, this could cause them to wake up unnecessarily.

Get your child outside in the morning and again in the evening so that their circadian rhythm can reset and adjust to the new time.

“you’re stronger than a flame,
more relentless than one too,
I promise sister,
you can be anything,
have whatever,
become what you do.

cover yourself up,
or just let go,
steady, steady,
your life is in perfect flow.”
