So I'm totally excited that it will be brighter for an extra hour in the evening after next week, but I'm surprisingly anxious over how this will affect DD's sleep schedule. DST in the fall did not really matter because she did not really have a schedule yet, but now she does...almost. DH and I both work full time, opposite schedules so that one of us is always home with her. We finally have a sort-of-routine so that I have a good idea of when she sleeps with him and he knows when she is sleeping with me with some exceptions for when she is not feeling well or we've been out. Are any of you doing anything special to ease your LO's into the time-change or are you just "winging" it?

We are going to put her down at the normal time in Saturday and then wake her up at her normal time according to the new clock on Sunday...so an hour earlier than normal. Then we will start nap one at the regular time according to the new clock.
For the last time change we did something similar with keeping the first nap at its regular time and DD had no issues with the transition.
Thanks for the responses. I guess I will partially wing it but even though I do hate to wake her maybe I will try to get her up when she would usually wake according to the clock as a PP suggested.
