Jet lag

We were away a total of 10 days and I think were able to shift FDR's schedule slightly, but by no means get him on island time. At best we could move him 30 minutes to an hour per day but it was a fair amount of waking up in the middle of the night (4am T&C time is 9am London time is at least an hour past his normal breakfast time is an angry baby). 

6am, happy as can be... not so daddies

We hoped that the marathon flight day would help him adjust, but it didn't. He was inconsolable our first night in Miami - some combination of exhaustion, jet lag, and uncomfortable/unfamiliar bed - so we brought him to bed with us. We weren't exactly sleeping either, but at least it helped him relax!

He normally has his last bottle of the day at 7:30pm. By about 6pm T&C time, you could tell he was really sleepy. We tried waiting as long as possible to feed him, but if we waited to long he would just fall asleep mid bottle and then that was that. So hungry again by 4am, then repeat.

We did all the things everyone suggests - up with the sun, activity during the day, etc. but that only helps so much. As far as I can tell, the only way for a baby to get over jet lag is slowly. (Wocka wocka wocka.)
