When do the clocks go back?
The clocks go back one hour on Sunday 29th October at 2:00 AM GMT, becoming 1:00 AM GMT.
While this shift may seem small, it can disrupt your baby's sleep patterns, leading to some challenging days and nights. However, with a few strategies, you can make this transition smoother for both you and your little one.
How do you help your baby adjust to the new time?
Gradual Adjustment: Start preparing your baby for the time change a few days before it occurs. Gradually shift their schedule by 10-15 minutes earlier each day until they are back on track with the new time.
Natural Light: Natural light is a powerful tool in regulating our circadian rhythms. Ensure your baby gets plenty of sunlight exposure during the day, especially in the morning. Open the curtains and go for walks if possible.
Bedtime Routine: Stick to a consistent bedtime routine. This can include activities like a warm bath, a cosy story, and a gentle lullaby, all of which signal to your baby that it's time to wind down and sleep.
Comfortable Sleeping Environment: Maintain a comfortable sleeping environment. Make sure your baby's room is dark, quiet, and at an ideal temperature.
