I should look back at my records! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bad-daycare-naps-and-nighttime-sleep#post-2321485 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 11:46:26 +0000 Freckles 2321485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littleblessings: He can't get really long naps in because in the mornings the kids are playing in the room. I think sometimes they can get the non sleeping kids to the big room, but not often. He's also used to a dark room with white noise!</p> <p>@sapphire: @FaithFertility: He has been in daycare for a couple of weeks consistently now. He's only there for about 4 hours as i am not back to work yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bad-daycare-naps-and-nighttime-sleep#post-2320554 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 05:37:24 +0000 FaithFertility 2320554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sorry, DD napped awful for awhile at her sitters! She still will skip her morning nap time to time!<br /> It doesn't really seem to mess with her night sleep but if it did I would ask daycare to try to maybe keep her asleep (move pnp into a different room...etc<br /> If LO just started maybe wait it out a bit more!<br /> On a good day DD is almost 10 months and naps 45 in morning and 1-1.30 in afternoon </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bad-daycare-naps-and-nighttime-sleep#post-2320487 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 23:30:14 +0000 sapphire 2320487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is a terrible napper but still sleeps long stretches at night without wake ups. She sleeps the same at night whether she napped or not...but she has been I daycare for a few months so I think she just learned to sleep more at night to make up for it.<br /> How long has LO been at daycare? Might need longer to adjust. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bad-daycare-naps-and-nighttime-sleep#post-2320485 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 23:22:03 +0000 littleblessings 2320485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No day care experience but when I was working the babysitter never had my kids take naps. They would be asleep when I picked them up and then wake up an hour after we got home ready to party. I had to talk to the sitter about making sure they got a couple hour naps each. Once they started napping they would sleep through the night again. Could you talk to the day care about your concerns? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bad-daycare-naps-and-nighttime-sleep#post-2320443 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 22:32:33 +0000 Freckles 2320443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 10.5 months old and has recently been transitioning to daycare. He takes a morning nap for 45 minutes, and his afternoon nap will only range from 45-90 minutes after we come home. It's obviously less than what he needs during the day.</p> <p>I feel like him napping less than 2 hours a day has been hurting his night sleep. He has been waking up multiple times at night, and hard to settle. Has anyone else gone through this? Will it get better?</p> <p>ETA: i've tried to move up his bedtime, but i can't seem to get him to bed any earlier than 6pm. he should probably go to bed at 5-5:30. </p>
