Sleep Tips for Babies

I love the one day of the year when I truly get an extra hour in my day.

It makes such a difference when I’ve stayed awake until 3:00am the night before desperately trying to finish a blog post before the deadline.

IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE. ๐Ÿ˜‰

But while I benefit from the end of daylight savings time, my baby girl can get thrown off when it comes to her sleep schedule. Maybe you have the same problem with your little ones.

If so, you’re not alone. Over half of moms (52%) feel that their baby’s sleep patterns are thrown off when the clocks fall back and daylight savings time ends.

Pampers, a popular diaper brand, wants to help.

An Infographic Inspired by Moms
Pampers actually interviewed over 9,000 moms about what was important for their baby and found that over and over moms mentioned that they needed a diaper that allowed their baby to sleep through the night by providing exceptional overnight protection.

This infographic explains how a dry diaper helps baby sleep through the night, which, in turn, means mom can sleep through the night.

That’s always good.

PAMPERS Infographic

Pampers realized that when daylight savings time ends and sleep schedules go out the window, moms need one less problem to deal with, so they designed a diaper that offers up to 12 hours of overnight protection.

This means that pretty much no matter what time baby falls asleep, her pj’s should be dry in the morning.

A Few Sleep Tips

Here are 3 tips to help make the transition even easier:

  1. Make sure that your children know when itโ€™s time to sleep; rely on your normal bedtime routine.
  2. If you have a child who starts getting up before 6:00am, make sure that you respond to the early risings quickly and consistently.
  3. Make sure that you watch your baby for sleepy cues carefully, and be sure to change your babyโ€™s diaper right before a nap or bedtime.

And now for the Giveaway!
ONE very excited reader will win aย Pack of Pampers Baby Dry Diapers and a pair of Childrenโ€™s Place PJโ€™s.ย The winner will be able to select their preferred diaper size (2-5) and the gender and size of the Children’s Place PJ’s. ๐Ÿ™‚

    My 17 month old twins weren’t even phased by day light savings. In fact I forgot about it until I noticed the time on my oven and the time on my phone were an hour apart lol

    I’ve been using the Baby Dry for a month and they’ve done a fabulous job! Cora was going through multiple diapers during the night because I feared they would leak, but we haven’t had a problem with Baby Dry!

    I can tell that my one year old is ready for bed at 6:30 now, instead of 7:30pmโ€ฆ but that’s just fine, its the waking time that is more difficult!
    I use Baby Dry diapers for nighttime and Swaddlers during the day – I like that Swaddlers are mostly plain white. I can’t figure out why diaper companies think its a good idea to put all kinds of colors or patterns or characters on diapers! The baby’s clothes are already colorful; no one wants to see a purple monkey through a cute pair of cream tights.
    Plus, the baby CAN’T SEE their diaperโ€ฆ its just mom that has to look at the cartoons. If they really need to be decorated, put a calming mountain horizon, or palm trees on the beach! ๐Ÿ™‚
    Thanks Sandra!

    I’ve actually been surprised that the time change didn’t seem to affect my kids that much. Must be my light blocking window shades!
