Hahaha, I dread the clocks going back (and forward), but my 15month old actually slept through and till 6.30 this morning (so a 5.30 start) which was brilliant as I was expecting his usual 5.15 (so 4.15 start:-/). Clearly he must be ill........


'Me time' pfft!

We changed our kids clock last night - at 6am (new time) they came into our room concerned that the clock was broken, as "we are sure it is getting up time now". We told them it was still nighttime, and off they went back to bed! Result. This parenting thing definitely gets easier when they're older.


Littlest one lies in her cot sucking her thumb until someone goes and gets her, not sure whether she noticed we were an hour late :)

mine do. I keep them on the same body-clock routine - so it's just an hour earlier to bed and an hour earlier to rise. plus we all just seem to go to bed earlier in the winter - surely a normal reaction to being dark so early!


i don't mean they go to bed ridiculously early though. in our house it means changing from 9pm to 8pm, and up at 6 rather than 7.


and I'm not talking toddlers - bit older now. so much easier!

Spooky, KristyMac, nearly the same name, and the same rising time! Except mine stuck to his usual 5.15, hence I got the 4.15 start yesterday... and today... *matchsticks*

amazingly yesterday my son slept til 6.30 (he is a 5am riser!) but today 4am he was ready to get up, obviously it wasnt going to happen which resulted in after me going in and trying to pat him back off to sleep him calling out endlessly for an hour - mama mama - whilst I laid awake praying he would sleep, he eventually went back off and slept til 6.45..


Ive always thought 5am was early but 4am is just rude!

4am start here today.

What did we do wrong?!!!

We stretched him last night til 7pm (so 8pm in his world and an hour later than his normal bedtime).

What time should we put him down tonight? I'm tempted to try 6pm, going with the sleep beget sleep theory.

Bizarrely he has only had 45 mins nap today and yet us in better spirits than normal.

I always find with baby strawbs if I try to put him in bed later than normal (normal bed time is circa 8.15) all that happens is he ends up with less sleep and is grumpy, it never results in him sleeping longer unfortunately. I am just going to persist with 8.15 (maybe 8.30) and then off to bed he goes, thankfully he always goes off without a problem its the sleeping through that is the problem.. x

We just keep on rolling in our house- have never tried to adjust bedtime to changing clocks, just adjusted ourselves to the clocks and put to bed at the time we normally would (regardless of whether this means bed an hour 'later' or 'earlier' than the previous day.


Seems to work for us, and less complicated than trying to do anything else!

Yes another 4 sm start here. Later bedtime doesnt work for us. At the moment baby Ivydale goes to bed about 6.30. He is so tired by then bless him all he wants is to sleep. He wakes at 5 (4 post clockchange) regardless of time he goes to bed. At leasr if he goes down at 6.30 I can do some house work and still get an early night. Then when he wakes up we cuddle, read books etc and at least I get to see him. Dont get me wrong, it is still torture I am just trying not to dispair and do the best that I can with it.

    • That's a disgusting slur against an innocent driver who was probably just on their way to drop off freshly-baked muffins at an orphanage when they had to swerve out of the way of a so-called "cyclist", and anyway traffic lights are just a Marxist conspiracy by Southwark Council to slow traffic down and force people out of cars, so we're all better off without it.
    • Frothy coffee? Not really my bag. A double espresso and a Marlboro Red? It's the breakfast of champions. The only dark drink with a creamy head which should ever be drunk by a man of my age is Guinness. I've also become lactose intolerant recently, meaning I get very impatient around milk. You make a fair point, but those legal channels are available for them to recover their repair, and legal, costs and, as I said: "It's up to them if they [Southwark] want to do that, of course." There's three or four grands worth of Cat N write-off, wrapped round a post there (more, if it's broken down for parts) causing problems. If they can't be arsed sorting that, I'm not holding my breath. Even Southwark couldn't screw their numbers up enough to make shifting the post back through circa 15 degrees more than a couple of grand, so there's a drink in it for everyone. It's a bit 'leany' just now, yeah, but I haven't noticed anyone having to limbo under it to get to Superdrugs. Or, they could make a feature of it. Pisa has made a fortune out of not sorting the underpinnings of their tower. Let's say it's an installation by someone called, I don't know, Bangsy, and it's a physical reminder that SE22 cannot deny its proximity to Peckham, Camberwell & Brixton. It's about the only thing that would get me back into The Bishop since the many dark afternoons of the soul I spent with Clarence*, the world's most depressed Weimaraner. *RIP big fella. You were always a great listener.   Come on Spartacus, don't be shy. You know exactly where the Green Cross Code Man was in 1973: less than a hundred yards away, on North Cross Road. https://youtu.be/C-XwVVMiCO4?si=rt8kQllev0t1Lgdi For some years, I found it quite difficult to go into The Forrester's after many long afternoons of the soul with Dave Prowse* (The Green Cross Code Man). *RIP big fella. You were always a great listener.  
    • Loving the arm chair speculation on here  Blimey how long before this gets spun out to be a drug dealer welding a sawn off whilst driving away from a smash and grab at the coop cash machine flipped his car and landed on a bollard type post  Where's the green cross code man when you need him ?
