Who doesn’t love the end of Daylight Saving Time in autumn? Parents of babies, that’s who. While most everyone else in the U.S. enjoys falling back an hour and thus getting an extra hour of sleep, babies have yet to get the memo that they’re supposed to sleep in the next morning.
If you have yet to experience a Daylight Saving Time, whether springing forward or falling back with a baby, then you may be wondering how one little hour can throw off your baby’s sleep schedule. From the personal experiences of mothers everywhere, if your baby isn’t prepared, they can go from a good sleeper to a bad sleeper overnight. Your baby may have a harder time falling asleep or they may start waking up an hour early every morning. Not even a morning and an afternoon caffeine pick-me-up can help you get through those long days and nights. And it can take up to two weeks before your baby is back to their normal sleep schedule.

Taking your baby outside for a walk in the winter? Your answer is probably, “No thanks!” And I get it. Staying inside your cozy home sipping a cup of hot chocolate while your baby plays with his toys sounds way more appealing than getting everyone all bundled up to go on a 10 minute walk in 40 degree temperatures. But you can’t stay inside all winter long – you’ll go stir crazy!
According to one pediatrician, and I’m sure many others agree with her, “Unless it’s dangerously cold, being outdoors helps infants acclimate

Parenthood brings with it a whole slew of questions to answer and lessons to learn. How do I know what my baby is trying to tell me when she’s crying? When do I transition her from a bassinet next to my bed to a crib in her own room? When do I start feeding her solids?
Another major topic for new parents revolves around their baby’s sleep schedule: Can my baby nap in the stroller? We’ve all been there. You’re out on a stroll and you go to check on your little one and they’re fast asleep. This poses the question as to whether it’s safe for your baby to continue napping in their stroller or not?
The Short Answer? Yes, it’s Safe.
