DD1 started daycare at 10 months and barely napped too. But she started out half day so we were always able to salvage the 2nd nap and by the time she transitioned to 1 nap she was doing great. </p> <p>DD2 started daycare at 6 months; she's almost 10 months and her nap here still kind of sucks! But such is life! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-and-naps-2#post-2776754 Sat, 30 Sep 2017 20:00:14 +0000 gingerbebe 2776754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son was the same way - he started at 11.5 months. 30 minutes or less for over a month. Then it went to like an hour. Oddly, his naps got way better once they moved him to a nap roll and cot with the other slightly older tots and he will now nap 90 mins to 2.5 hours depending on the day. He still skips naps some days or only sleeps 30 mins but we are just riding it out. Part of it is around age 1 there is a lot of sleep issues (was true of both my kids) so I knew the daycare nap would be where that was roughest. We are going through it again now around 16 months (there's a sleep regression and canines around 18 months) and it sucked for DS1 so I'm trying to ride it out again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-and-naps-2#post-2776742 Sat, 30 Sep 2017 16:52:58 +0000 nightcheese 2776742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My almost one year old started daycare last week. She is adjusting well (as can be expected) except for the fact that she will not nap. We had a pretty solid nap routine going and this gradual entry has really shaken things up. I know it's only been a week but I need some reassurance. </p> <p>She has only napped 20 min in her crib and 30 minutes when they were holding her. Yesterday she outright refused to nap even though they were rocking her. This has affected her home naps as she has fought each one and I have resorted to putting her in the ergo to give her SOME sleep. </p> <p>Is this just a transition? Will she go back to being my (semi) decent sleeper? Her overnight sleep has been great but it's because she is so overtired. Is there anything I can do to help her/the daycare with naps? She has her sleepsack and lovey. I feel so bad for the daycare ladies and my sweet baby! </p>
