Daylights Savings

[rubykitten]

my baby goes to sleep at 6:30 and wakes up at 5. So I guess my new wakeup time will be 4? Fml

Time changes have never gone well for us since having kids.
DS already wakes up around 4, so this will be even worse.

I hate daylight savings. It's the worst with kids. Anyway, I really won't do much with the baby, except push back her naps and bedtime 10-15 minutes starting tomorrow. Her schedule is pretty flexible, so I'm not expecting a problem. With the boys, I'm screwed because they don't sleep anyway. They're too busy f'ing around at bedtime. They don't fall sleep until 9:30-10:00pm. I hate that they share a room. I'm guessing it'll take a week or so for them (and me) to adjust.

heartbot, lol to referring to DS as "crotch fruit"! I'm going to be chuckling all night.

I'm not nearly as worried about the baby as I am about the older ones. It week definitely take a good week or two to get them adjusted. Like @unicornofthesea said, I always think it's a good opportunity to get bedtime moved up, but that never quite works out!
My plan is to just try to get the kids (baby too) to bed a little later each night until they adjust. I won't wake them up from the afternoon nap, either, in case it runs long. I let DD sleep until 5:30pm this evening.

H refused to nap today while my parents were here, crashed asleep at 5pm and woke up at 6pm. We are getting him down for bed an hour later than usual so hopefully that just sorts itself out. #alsodoubtful

Well LO napped from 5-630 last night and was down for the night shortly after 7. He's been up for the day since 430.

We got to 545 and I'm still dragging. I have Starbucks and I hope you have coffee too!

Oh yeah I'm on my second cup! And will probably have a second breakfast too! H is still sleeping. I better get a nap this afternoon!

Yeah I got two pretty filling pastries this morning because that's what it's going to take to get me to lunch, lol.

We kept all kids up really late because we had family over. They were exhausted from playing and were still all up at 6:15 - except A got up at 4 randomly to eat. I guess it's not terrible but it could be better. I'm hoping things improve this week.

So apparently my kids got the memo about daylight savings? L slept through the night for the first time in weeks. Got up at 6 "old time" but went back down in his RNP after a few attempts and slept until 8 "old time." K was up at 6ish but slept in our bed until like 7:45.

I fear what tonight will bring.

Also, am I the only one that still holds the baby for naps? I haven't even started trying to put him down yet...

We threw in the towel on naps and ended up taking all his naps with him by the end of both of our leaves. We prayed the nanny would fix it. She has been at it a week and I feel like it's getting better (for her during the week). But on the weekends I'll probably still nap with him when I can because I'm usually exhausted and love cuddling with him (when he's knocked out and not wriggling away, lol). We did sleep training for night time but he absolutely refused that for naps.

It looks like my new wakeup time is 4 am
