What that means is that our little ones are going to be going to bed and waking up 1 hour earlier.
Here are three things you can do to help infants adapt to this time change next week we are all changing the time on our clocks:
Gradual Adjustment: Start adjusting your infant's sleep schedule a few days before the time changes. Shift their bedtime and nap times by 15 minutes earlier each day. This gradual adjustment can make the transition smoother for your little one.
Darkness: Put the blinds down or anything that you have to make the room darker. The sun will rise earlier and this may make your little one to wake up earlier too.
Do nothing, some children adapt very easily to the change.
Remember, you are the one that knows your little one best, it is your choice to decide what to do.
If you are struggling with your little one sleep:
You struggle with your child's sleep overall.
You find it hard to get your child to sleep at nap times.

I specialise in guiding families through the developmental sleep phases their little ones experience, employing gentle and evidence-based practices. I’m accredited from OCN London and the Child Sleep Institute in Canada. I have learned a comprehensive understanding of the intricate biological dynamics involved in an infant’s sleep.
Through personal experience with my own child’s recurring fevers and their profound effect on sleep, I was motivated to acquire specialised knowledge by seeking guidance from reputable sleep clinics and experts. From personal experience as a new mama and as an expat living in London, I understand the unique challenges that come with becoming a parent while being away from home. I know first-hand how valuable the support of an expert can be, and now aim to help others have the best possible experience in their journey into parenthood.
Quality sleep plays a pivotal role in the holistic development of every child, and it’s equally vital for the well-being of parents. As parents, it is our responsibility to educate our children about the importance of developing healthy sleep habits. By doing so, we can help them build a strong foundation for their overall development and instill practices that will benefit them throughout their adult lives.
By embracing a gentle and nurturing approach to sleep practices, my primary focus is on fostering a robust bond between the infant and caregiver. This special connection holds the power to profoundly influence the quality of sleep. My goal is to create a tranquil and harmonious environment that promotes restfulness for both the child and their caregivers.
Through empathetic understanding and genuine connection with your child's unique needs, you will not only gain profound insights into their world but also establish the groundwork for their long-term success and well-being. I firmly believe that cultivating a secure attachment with your child is paramount in ensuring they experience restorative and high-quality sleep.
