SEASON CHANGES FOR BABIES: HOW WILL THE CLOCKS CHANGING AFFECT MY BABY'S SLEEP
During the clocks changing, it’s normal for your little one’s sleep to become disrupted for a few days as they adjust. It is recommended that you put your baby to bed at the ‘new’ time straight away, however, if you feel your little one will benefit from an adjusted bedtime, in the week leading up to the clocks changing try shifting bedtime 10 minutes earlier or later each day in the week leading up to the time change.
The mornings are a perfect time for a lie-in, and although those words might seem like a distant memory, letting your little one lie in their crib 10 minutes longer each morning during the lead up to the clocks going back might help them adjust to the change of routine. Obviously, all babies are different and some may not like to stay in bed longer than they want so don’t worry if your little one won’t stay settled for long enough.
During autumn the clocks going back usually means we’ll start experiencing lighter mornings, which could result in your little one waking earlier than they normally would. It’s recommended to keep rooms as a dark as possible to prevent any morning sunlight waking your little one up.

As the weather and general daylight change its important to keep little one’s room dark and cosy.
