Infant mommies...anyone else worried about...?

daylight savings time. DS is 3 1/2 months. He goes to sleep around 7pm and wakes between 5am and 6am each morning. So needless to say I am so pleased with his current schedule. BUT -- on those morning that he wakes at 5am I drag around all day. I just can't imagine him going to sleep at 6pm now (which stinks because I sometimes don't get home from work until then) and then waking up at 4am and 5am!!!

I know he will eventually change it up to go back to where he was but I'm worried about the initial impact and time it will take to readjust.

Any thoughts?

BTW - I've been told to try and keep them up later but I don't think that would work with DS. When he is tired he is tired. period.

Thanks!

Yup, I've been thinking about the chaos that it will bring for a few weeks. It's a fight to hold DD out until 7pm to eat her last meal before bedtime, she usually wants it before then (which means earlier to bed and earlier to rise!). It will be interesting!

Re: Infant mommies...anyone else worried about...?

YES! I totally am. Especially since I return to work on Monday, right after we change the clocks.

I figure it will take some time to adjust and we'll just have to ride it out.

Dont worry too much, it will sort it's self out.

DS hasn't had an issue in 4 years, and DD is 17 mo and didn't have a problem last year, or this spring. We also went to Oregon this year, so they had to shift 3 hours, and they adjusted better than I did!
