But for sure, her first year, her naps were a mess.</p> <p>She started daycare at 6 months, and she usually only took 2 crap naps at daycare, maybe 30 minutes each. For a few months, she would pass out the second she got home and sleep 4-5:30 pm, which really through off our bedtime schedule.</p> <p>Her sleep wasn't better till this year, when she is in a room with kiddos 12-18 months and they are all on 1 nap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/naps-at-daycare-are-a-mess#post-2016670 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 11:00:18 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2016670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did you ask if they tried to get him to sleep from 1-3:30? It seems odd that there is a designated time for nap and they wouldn't have even tried. I'd find out what's going on and just let them know that they should try to keep him awake until 1 if they can... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/naps-at-daycare-are-a-mess#post-2016656 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 10:55:38 +0000 CakeLady 2016656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yesterday at daycare DS took two naps:<br /> 9:10-10:00am and 11:20-12:10, then nothing until I picked him up at 5:45. WTF?!?! </p> <p>He is 7 months old, why would they put him down for a nap an hour and 20 minutes after the first and then not try and get him to nap for the rest of the day! He was crying hysterically when I picked him up because he hadn't slept in 5.5 hours. Also "nap time" is from 1-3:30, why didn't they try and get him to nap then???</p> <p>He is not a great napper, but this just seems really disorganized and careless. He was clearly tired and would have slept if someone would have taken a few minutes to put him in his sleep sack and rock him (usually only take 2-3 minutes if he is tired). Is there a good way to bring up the topic with them, also would it be reasonable for me to ask them to put him on more of a schedule for naps? </p>
