Daylight saving is coming and I'm already worried about disrupting my baby's schedule. How should I shift sleep times?

Daylight saving can be confusing, I understand. The smoothest transition spreads the change over a week: shift everything (bedtime, wake time, meals) by 15 minutes each day. For example, if bedtime is currently 8:00 PM, move it to 8:15 PM on day one, 8:30 PM on day two, and so on. By week's end, you've adjusted without a sudden jolt.
During the transition, dimmer lighting in your evening routine also helps — it supports melatonin production and makes the shift easier. A few rough nights might happen, but your routine will settle back within a week.
