My LO doesn't nap well at daycare, so her bedtime is even earlier now (6:30). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-and-sleep-schedules#post-1496389 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 20:44:14 +0000 yellowbird 1496389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO never napped well at daycare. She goes to a smaller in home now and naps better but she still needs at least 12 hours at night and is pretty miserable without it despite napping well. She sleeps 7-7 currently. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-and-sleep-schedules#post-1496355 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 20:20:25 +0000 daniellemybelle 1496355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO doesn't go to daycare but I know many babies do not nap great at daycare at least at first. Will your LO sleep in the car? A cat nap on the commute might help so you can take your time with him when you get home, but I honestly would not move his bedtime back too much until you see how he naps there. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-and-sleep-schedules#post-1496350 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 20:16:11 +0000 lovehoneybee 1496350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you had to shorten your LO's nighttime sleep because of daycare did they eventually compensate with a longer nap? </p> <p>E currently sleeps 12.5-13 hours a night, but when I start work in early April I think I'll need to shorten it. I'm just not sure how I can manage to do everything that we need to do with the current amount of sleep he's currently. They serve breakfast at the daycare so I can probably skip that at home, but we'll have a commute. Then at night another commute, plus dinner, bath, reading, etc. </p> <p>I'd like to be able to push his bedtime back so we can have a little bit of time together in the evening that isn't rushed, and I'm hoping he'll make up for it with a longer nap. Or am I deluding myself? </p>
