Both Cat and Sarah, who run the Instagram account @thesleepmums reveal that not changing the routine won't lead to the world's end."Put your baby or child to bed at your normal time on Saturday and see what time they wake on Sunday."You can then adjust naps or bedtimes on the subsequent days if you feel like your little one is struggling with the time difference.
