Daylight Savings Time is steadily creeping upon us, so it will not be for long (November 2nd) that we’ll be turning our clocks back one hour. The time change throws many of us off balanced, yet most mothers are also concerned about how it will affect their baby’s sleeping patterns. Will it wreck havoc on the baby’s sleep schedule? If so, how will they be able to get the baby to adjust? Does this mean that the baby and parents will wake up earlier? These are few of the main concerns of many parents. The transition may be overwhelming for some, but just know that it’s short-lived. Thankfully, there are many ways to enable a good night’s sleep for your baby!
Pampers conducted a survey last year, and poll results indicated that 24% mothers felt that the number one reason why their baby slept peacefully and comfortably was because of a dry diaper. Founded in 1961, Pampers ultimate mission is keep babies dry during the most crucial moments: love, play, and sleep! Their diapers feature three absorbent layers, providing up to 12 hours of overnight dryness protection.
Blissful Slumber Tips
– During the fall season, try to keep your child up 30 minutes later than usual the day before Daylight Savings Time. This may enable their internal sleep schedule to adjust in a day or two.
– According to Touch Research Institutes at the University of Miami School of Medicine, studies indicate that a bedtime massage helps babies sleep better throughout the night.
– A sound machine, such as Sound Oasis, blocks out irritating noises and creates a relaxing atmosphere.
– Cloud B has a vast collection of products that will help promote a better night’s sleep. Their Disney Baby collection is beyond adorable. My daughter loves the Dreamy Stars Minnie Mouse! One of my other favorites is the Twilight Turtle Constellation Night Light, which transforms the bedroom into a starry night sky to lull children into a blissful slumber. It features a 45-minute timer to preserve battery life.

Now that my kids are older, it’s not much of an issue anymore, but man – it was rough when they were babies.
I recommend lots of outdoor activities! Fresh air wears my kids out!
Melatonin and Cherry juice help as well as exercise and meditation
A sweet bathroom, a healthy meal and a nice bedtime story happy !!
I recommend a nice warm bath before bed!
Most of my kids are older so it is one of those just deal with it type of things. For the younger ones I try to still have them in bed by their bedtime, even if they aren’t tired. I love that you have white noise on here, I hadn’t realized it but a fan I use in my house (because I’m always hot) actually has a white noise setting and my younger two always fall to sleep from it.

Melatonin! It’s a lifesaver–it’s natural and doesn’t make you drowsy the next day.
A Nice warm bath
Stick to a routine.
A hot bath, some nice relaxing music, and a cup of hot cocoa before bed. It puts my lights out.
set a regular bed time
A warm bath or shower always works for me.
It’s good to stay on a sleep schedule and keep it dark with a sound machine.
I recommend warm milk and comfortable clothes.
Make sure the room is not overheated.
I recommend a white noise machine.
i nice warm bath
I recommend reducing caffeine intake several hours before bedtime.
For me, just relax and read a good book will put me right to sleep. For baby, a nice bath and quiet time before bedtime.
We love lavender body lotion and soothing music!
I recommend a regular routine/schedule, a noise machine and black out shades! Julie smartsavvymama@gmail.com
I drink a cup of Sleepytime tea before bedtime.
I give him a nice lavender bath and feed him really good and lay him n bed. although we still are up 2 and 3 times a night as my little one is only 2 months old.

I recommend swaddles for babies! It makes them feel secure and cozy, so when they wake up in the night they’re more likely to fall back asleep pretty quickly. Works like a charm for my baby 🙂
A warm bath and lavender lotion helps
I don’t drink any caffeine after a certain point (since I get up for work at 3:30 AM and go to bed between 8 and 9, that is noon for me). I also use room darkening curtains to keep out any light.
I recommend curling up with a good book and listening to some light jazz before you go to bed. It is so relaxing.
Well, right now since I have a 2 month old…fill that baby up with breast milk before bedtime lol. It definitely helps her sleep better.
sticking to a routine and unwinding beforehand
A warm bath, some sleepytime tea and a good book is my way of getting a better night’s sleep..
I recommend a steady routine and a comfy bed
I recommend cutting on caffeine!
