Members' Tips: When the clocks change
 When
the clocks go forward and back, your child's sleeping patterns can go
haywire! How can you keep this under control so disruption is minimal?
Adjusting the timetable
'What I used to do was to get mine to nap earlier
on in the day, say 2pm. Lie her down on the couch maybe with a blanket
over her and put a video on she likes and maybe it will help her fall
asleep.'

Slowly but surely...
'I remember when my eldest was a lot younger and
the changing of the clocks really threw my routine. I found that rather
than change the routine the full hour straight away. I would change it
by 10mins over the course of 5 days. Every night I would just put the
routine forward or back by 10mins until we caught up.'
