When everything feels in transition as the seasons change. On top of that, Daylight Savings Time is coming up, much to the frustration\u00a0of parents everywhere who have just gotten their little ones on a solid sleep schedule. Light that manages to peek its way through curtains can be just enough to wake even the best of wee sleepers.<\/p>\n

If your minis are like ours, they\u2019ve gone through their troubled wake-sleep-wake-sleep schedule and come out the other end with a relatively healthy handle on the entire thing. Bedtime is good, night time is heavenly\u2026but mornings\u2026mornings are catastrophic. Why and how do our miniature sleeping cherubs seemingly bound out of bed the second there is even the tiniest glimpse of daylight on the horizon? That minuscule fragment of light outside convinces them that it is time to get up \u2014 even though their poor, knackered parents are groggily insisting that it isn\u2019t\u2026yet.<\/p>\n

So what\u2019s a tired parent to do\u2026? How do you teach your child to stay in bed\u2026?\u00a0<\/i>Threats don\u2019t work. Neither does telling them nicely to go back to bed. Or snuggles. Or bribery (trust us, we\u2019ve tried them all).<\/p>\n

We can give you some tips to help you make it\u00a0easier on you and your little one.<\/p>\n

3 Tips to Help You Get Through the Time Change<\/h5>\n

1. Start\u00a0Planning Now<\/h4>\n
\"glowing

Glowing screen shows images of stars and sun to communicate ‘sleep’ and ‘wake-up’ time<\/p><\/div>\n

In the 4 days\u00a0leading up to the time change, make bedtime 15 minutes earlier every night. By the time that the time change hits, you’ll be totally adjusted to the new bedtime. We recommend buying a\u00a0Gro Clock<\/a> to make implementing this sleep training strategy easier on you and your baby. It’s a customer-favourite and an exhausted parents\u2019 best friend.\u00a0Best of all, it’s a sleep training tool that can be used way beyond\u00a0the time change.<\/p>\n

How does this magic work? How do kidlets understand when it\u2019s actually time to get up? With the\u00a0Gro Clock<\/a>\u00a0in their room, it\u2019s as simple as eight little words: \u201cstay in bed until you see the sun\u201d. The clock uses fun images of the stars and the sun to communicate when kiddies should go back to sleep and when it\u2019s okay for them to get up. It also has a feature which allows parents to choose whether or not to display the digital clock, so that older children can start to learn the actual time of sleeping and waking \u2014\u00a0 which will help them when they learn to tell time.<\/p>\n

No more early risers, no more wee bodies climbing out of their beds at 5am\u2026and no more punch-drunk mornings for us, thanks to our kiddos learning that mornings actually begin at a\u00a0decent hour (and not a minute earlier)!<\/p>\n

2. Get Baby’s Bedroom Ready<\/h4>\n

<\/b>Our sleep cycles are heavily influenced by the sun, and baby’s sleep cycle is no different. The Fall back\u00a0time change means more light in the mornings and evenings, which can potentially mess up baby’s sleep schedule by causing them to get up earlier and have a harder time getting to sleep at the right time. To help avoid this happening, we recommend investing in blackout blinds or curtains in addition to the Gro Clock<\/a>.<\/p>\n

3. Be Patient<\/h4>\n

<\/b>If you follow these tips, most babies and toddlers will adjust to the time change within a week or so. But some take longer than others to adjust, so if your little one is still adjusting after a couple weeks, don’t panic.\u00a0Just stick to your routine, keep bedtimes consistent, and keep using your tools and they should adjust soon.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
