Time Change Blues

Hi Mommas,

I was listening to a pediatrition this morning on CBC radio. She made the following recommendation about feeding your little ones so that by Monday hopefully their schedules will be in sinc with the "real world".

Beginning tonight, feed your children 20 minutes later than you usually would. And put them to bed 20 minutes later.

Do the same tomorrow night (Saturday).

On Sunday, put them to bed at their usually scheduled time, forget the 20 minutes.

She reminds listeners, no carriage rides, no car rides, during this time, as you well know, they will be sleeping on you!

She says babies especially should be ready by Monday morning to have their schedules revised to the new time change.

GOOD LUCK ONE AND ALL! I hope it works.

Andrea and Cathy, I sure hope it works. It's bad enough getting up when you two and your brood do. What we do know for sure is, that eventually their internal clocks will change. Sure hope I didn't screw up the last two nights for either of you! I'll stay tuned.
Love you both, A.A. slash Mom xxoo

It didn't work for us this morning. We were up way too early. Can't teach old dogs new tricks ox
