Daylight savings time

I was looking ahead at my calendar and realized the clocks will go back an hour the first weekend of November when daylight savings ends. Any STMs have advice or any idea how it might affect LOs around bedtime.

Did you ever push your LOs schedule back an hour as well to accommodate? Ex: if LO goes down at 8 right now, did you start getting them down at 7 after the clocks went back or did your LOs just adjust their own schedule?

Last year I remember it took just a few days to adjust. We kept everything the same. We shall see how this LO reacts to it, but still I plan on keeping somewhat the same schedule.

Daylight saving sucks when you have kids. Each time adjustment I start a few days ahead and adjust in 15 min. Increments

DS1 always just adjusted on his own. Hope DS2 follows suit.

The only time it sucks is when it's light out at like 5 a.m. because it's harder to tell them it's still sleepy time when it looks like broad daylight.

DD1 always adjusted on her own, so I am hoping DD2 will follow suit.

Like PPs DS adjusted on his own. I put him down at normal bedtime, which is 8:30 and tell him it's bedtime, after a couple of days he is adjusted to the "new" 8:30. Hopefully DD will do the same,so far she is an awesome sleeper and goes down when it's bedtime.

Yep, just kept things the same and DS adjusted just fine.  I'm sure DD will do the same since she is a better sleeper than he is.  Thankfully it gets dark early, so that helps.

I'm hoping it will get her bedtime where I'd like it to be. 9 pm instead of 10 would be awesome.
