An oldie but a goodie! How can you prep for the ti

An oldie but a goodie! How can you prep for the time change this weekend…read to find out more.
Tip 1- Start pushing your child’s entire routine forward today by 15 minutes. This means not only do you push their sleep times (naps, bedtime, all of it) forward, but you want to be sure to push meals forward as well. A child’s entire routine has to shift. A day later move the entire day an additional 15 min. Do that two more times and by Saturday you should be at the point of your full day being an hour later than normal.
Tip 2-Make sure that bedroom is pitch black. Especially now when you struggle with wake up time being an hour earlier, you don’t want a drop of light sneaking in through the window and telling your child it’s time to wake. Contractor trash bags are a great temporary solution.

Finally, realize that it still may (despite your best efforts) take a full week for your child to adapt to the new schedule. It’s really hard working against a pattern that your child has been in for 6 months, so give yourselves a break and hang in there until the new routine takes hold.

That time when you wanted to post the Mother’s Day photo on your husband’s phone, and he sent it to you 8 days later. Happy Belated I guess 🤷‍♀️

Let’s talk a slightly misunderstood but buzzy sl

Let’s talk a slightly misunderstood but buzzy sleep topic: Pediatric Obstructive Sleep Apnea. You may have heard of this especially in regards to adults, but statistically some research has found OSA to be found in up to 15% of children.
Some symptoms of OSA in children include:
Snoring
Multiple Night Wakings
Open Mouth Breathing
Hyperactivity
Excessive Daytime Sleepiness
Aggressive Behavior,
Sleeping in an arched position
Headaches
Slow Growth
Weight Gain
Pretty broad criteria right? Sadly if you suspect apnea your doctor will need to send you for a sleep study with your child and those can be really hard to get through. However it’s important that this condition is treated since it’s fairly serious.
I speak about this as I’m now 3 weeks post-tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy for child number 4. Her symptoms would’ve seemed pretty minor if I wasn’t educated on OSA symptoms. She only snored and slept arched with her mouth open…her sleep has been great for years! So this is a reminder that if your child has some or all of the above symptoms, it’s worth talking to your doctor.
