Some will be celebrating getting an extra hour in bed, many parents will be trying to prevent early wakeups. The change will likely affect young children and babies – and give parents an early start on Sunday. Nuby has also shared how to dress a baby in winter for sleep as it said Google searches for ‘ideal temperature for baby room in winter’ had spiked by more than 5,000% in the past 30 days as temperatures have started to drop in the UK. So, if your baby usually sleeps at 6.45 pm, shift it to 7 pm, then 7.15 pm, and continue until bedtime reaches 7.45 pm. They will go to bed an hour later and are more likely to wake up an hour later on Sunday morning. Also, during that week, keep the curtains closed and the lights off for 15 minutes longer each morning. This all helps to adjust their circadian rhythm, making it easier for them to adjust to waking up an hour later When the temperature drops below 16C dress your baby in a onesie, long-sleeve bodysuit, or pajamas and a 2.5-tog sleeping bag. If the temperature drops below 14C upgrade to a 3.5 tog sleeping bag. For safety reasons, even in the colder months, the cot should be clear of blankets, pillows, and soft toys. Babies should never sleep with a hot water bottle, electric blanket, or near a radiator or heater. In the colder winter months, most babies don’t need to wear extra layers. Remember that the ideal room temperature for a baby is 16C to 20C, so don’t panic as soon as we head into the winter months that your baby needs loads of extra layers, this might not be the case.
