Sometimes just for the last 10 mins or some times the whole 30 mins. She usually always wakes up right away when I take the seat out or will wake up within 10 mins of being home. We have an hour together at most before I nurse and she goes to bed. And we do bath and book in that hour. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/making-up-naps#post-1012278 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 07:31:28 +0000 Adira 1012278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@butterbean: haha, seriously! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/making-up-naps#post-1012269 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 07:26:22 +0000 butterbean 1012269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: they usually put him down for 3 (even if they are all catnaps) so i was pretty surprised to see they put him down for 1 nap...yesterday i made a comment about his 1 nap to his teacher and she said she will put him down for 2 naps...</p> <p>*sigh* the joys of parenting </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/making-up-naps#post-1012256 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 07:20:41 +0000 Adira 1012256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@butterbean: Only one nap???? That sucks! Xander always has at least two at daycare, but he NEEDS 3! Hopefully once you ask them to put him down for two naps, it works out better for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/making-up-naps#post-1012252 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 07:19:11 +0000 butterbean 1012252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: yea same here...although i'm going to ask them to make an effort to put him down for at least 2 naps (even if he doesn't look tired)... yesterday, he only had one nap (in the morning) and i almost had a heart attack! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/making-up-naps#post-1012238 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 07:13:22 +0000 Adira 1012238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@butterbean: No, I haven't told them when to put him down for naps, because he tends to be all over the place. Plus he won't always go down easily for a nap, so they kind of just let him set his own schedule for now. He often just wants to be out where the action is and then will just pass out wherever he is if he's tired. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/making-up-naps#post-1012230 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 07:10:08 +0000 butterbean 1012230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: there have been times where I picked him up and he just woke up from a nap (i get really excited!)...and then when i check his daily sheet to find out that his nap was for 15 minutes, i know i have to put him down for a nap when we get home; otherwise we'll get one fussy baby</p> <p>do you tell your daycare the ideal times Xander should go down for naps? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/making-up-naps#post-1012219 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 07:05:42 +0000 Adira 1012219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@butterbean: Yeah, usually after Xander wakes up from his nap after daycare, it's time to nurse him, then bath, then bed, so no playtime. :( I much prefer it when he takes a nap at daycare right before I pick him up! That's the best! But it doesn't usually happen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/making-up-naps#post-1012211 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 07:03:44 +0000 butterbean 1012211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: lol...we only get an hour to play with him from the time he wakes up from his catch-up nap and the time we have to get him ready for bedtime. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/making-up-naps#post-1012182 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 06:40:13 +0000 Adira 1012182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! ALL THE TIME!!! It's so annoying - I wish he'd just nap at daycare so I could play with him once he gets home, but often he'll fall asleep in the car OR I have to put him down for a nap as soon as we get home because otherwise he won't make it to bedtime. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/making-up-naps#post-1012160 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 06:20:52 +0000 butterbean 1012160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my DS doesn't exactly take the best naps in daycare and when i pick him up, he usually passes out in the drive home. when we get home, he's still asleep in the carseat. i leave him in the carseat (in the floor of our living room) cuz i don't have the heart to wake him up since i know he is probably exhausted...</p> <p>do you try to make up naps if your LO didn't have good naps in daycare? </p>
