She's the one that will be laughing one second and you look down and she's all of a sudden out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-daycare-put-lo-in-crib-awake#post-711848 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 14:32:48 +0000 edelweiss 711848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: i wasn't sure if it was just our daycare, but sounds like it is a common practice--thank you!</p> <p>@MamaMoose: i'm eager to learn the "tricks" that they daycare providers discover about our LO--i know they have way more experience than i do!</p> <p>@LuLu Mom: did you find that the daycare practice of rocking her to sleep interfered with her ability to put herself to sleep when you put her to bed at home? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-daycare-put-lo-in-crib-awake#post-711822 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 14:26:35 +0000 edelweiss 711822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: i was kind of bummed when i heard the policy because we've been working so hard to try and get him to self-soothe back to sleep after the 45-minute nap, but like you, i'm not going to question it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-daycare-put-lo-in-crib-awake#post-711794 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 14:17:42 +0000 LuLu Mom 711794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They usually rock her to sleep, even though we put her to sleep drowsy at home most the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-daycare-put-lo-in-crib-awake#post-711790 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 14:15:44 +0000 MamaMoose 711790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They rock her to sleep and then put her in her crib. As her teacher says "M is a "trick" baby... you need to know all her tricks to get her to sleep!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-daycare-put-lo-in-crib-awake#post-711786 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 14:14:13 +0000 mediagirl 711786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They rock her to sleep, just like we do at home. They do take her out of her crib as soon as she wakes up, too. I think that leads to her shorter naps (she could probably put herself back to sleep) but it works for them so I don't question it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-daycare-put-lo-in-crib-awake#post-711767 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 14:05:26 +0000 Mrsbells 711767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daycare puts babies in their crib usually when they are asleep. But mostly they use swings to get the babies to fall asleep. I have only once seen my baby in her crib there, but this is because I told them she prefers the swing </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-daycare-put-lo-in-crib-awake#post-711733 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 13:52:14 +0000 Mrs. Bee 711733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>our daycare rocks or pats the kids while they're in their pack n plays. some of the kids that can put themselves to sleep do and go in awake. others need a little rocking, but they go to sleep easily. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-daycare-put-lo-in-crib-awake#post-711723 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 13:48:31 +0000 edelweiss 711723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i just had my orientation with LO's daycare, and the director said it's part of their safe sleep policy only to put babies in the crib when they're already asleep. as in, none of this "drowsy but awake" business. </p> <p>is this typical? what does your daycare do? </p>
