time change

Emeraldeyed315 · October 2013

anyone else a little worried about this? My LO sleeps till 5am, which I love. 4am will feel so much earlier...

DH brought this up last night. I am curious to see how LO adjusts and how much it will affect him.

Oh crap I forgot about that!

carrotcake06 · October 2013

We've never done anything special in prep for the time change. It usually takes a day or two to adjust.

LEMSA · October 2013

Shit. I forgot all about it.

There is a place with no time change, I know you said in Canada but is it all of Canada

Definitely not all of Canada as we have a time change. I never even thought about how this would affect our schedule (also I can never keep affect and effect straight)

Ditto - so I usually try to find another word or rephrase my sentence, haha.

I hadn't thought about this... yikes!

Nov 3rd time change....are you fucking kidding me! This is the day before I go back to work. I've worked so hard to get her as close to a schedule as possible...and just when it is starting to work the time is changing! Unbelievable.

Not really. It didn't seem to affect Lucas so I'm hoping Alexis is good too.

This. I'm glad some BTDT moms have chimmed in about it not being a big deal. I'm not worried. We will stick with his nighttime routine and hope for the best.

It didn't affect my DD but DS is a whole different baby! One of my cousins made the change slowly with her DS, I think she moved his schedule by 15 minutes each day for a few days. DS doesn't really have a schedule yet so it should be fine, plus we're traveling to a different time zone shortly after that and will be there for almost a month!

Totally forgot about this!

Most of Indiana doesn't change time.

AprilRaine · October 2013

I'm in AZ and we don't change time. This should probably be my thankful tues post!

That's interesting. I would have bet money the entire US switched times... I learned something new today!!

P.S: Time never changes for my family in Puerto Rico or DH's family in Ecuador.

BelhurstBride · October 2013

We go routines as opposed to schedules so it's never really affected us. DD1 is a PITA to get to bed regardless of what time the clock says.

13itchyBride · October 2013

Oh crap we are flying to vegas tomorrow which is two hours behind and now the f'ing time change

I have lived several places in IN, always changed time.

I am the odd BTDT I guess. I hate time changes. It screws my kids up for weeks. Getting my 7 and 5 year old to go to sleep an hour later/earlier, nightmare.

sparks4stp · October 2013

When I lived in Australia (Queensland) the time never changed. But other parts of the country did.

SarahinMD · October 2013

I know some people ease their kids into it. We never did. A few days and all is well again.

PrettyAccountant · October 2013

Oh fucking great - the day I go back to work. Wonderful.

FeetFirst · October 2013

I never have issues with DS. Maybe a few days when we gain an hour where he is not ready for bed yet, but overall ok.

Hoping "falling back" helps DD, since she thinks 12am is bedtime at least that will now be 11??! I can hope!

LJUTCMommy · October 2013

I forgot about it. In one way, I'm lucky that DD hasn't really put herself on a schedule yet. On the other hand, I go back to work 2 weeks later so that might mess my own sleep up.

I grew up in a small town in Indiana and the time never changed. It was just north of Kokomo. I'm not sure if they change time now though. I don't think they do. I miss not having to change times.

So.... how are little ones doing with this? Monday morning my LO got up at 5 (she usually gets up about 6:30). Last night she woke in the middle of the night for the first time in a long time, and was up from 2:30 to 4. I am hoping it was a fluke, but worried that are are three days away from a leap, and almost to the 12 week mark, so we might be hitting sleep regression.

How is everyone?

kcooper1986 · November 2013

We're messed up....for weeks,now, LO has only gotten up once a night. Time Change hits and BAM, she's up at midnight, 3 am, and thinks its time to get up at 4:45 : / She used to sleep til at least 615....

HOWEVER, night 2 she slept longer stretches, and tonight (night 3) got a bit longer as well.im hoping we're good by the end of the week!

PB102012 · November 2013

@kcooper1986 yay! That's gives me hope.... Tonight has been better.... I think she might actually make it to 5 am? Fingers crossed! Now if only my brain would shut off so I could get some sleep.

kcooper1986 · November 2013

@christy32685 good news, LO made it to almost 6 instead of 445 today! There is hope for you!!! Lol

janneann1127 · November 2013

Time change has always been really rough for DS. He's an early riser anyway but this time change has killed us. He was doing a 530am wakeup for the week or two prior, which sucked as it was. Now he's up at 4am!! Fourth day in a row. The baby hasn't really been affected much at all, thankfully. But I'm tired of waking up at 4 AM

and he is exhausted all day long which makes for a rough one.

PB102012 · November 2013

@kcooper1986 Woo!!!! That's awesome!

She woke up at 5:30 after STTN.... I will take it!
