She takes about 3-4 naps. 830am or so, 11, 2, and a catnap around 430/5. I only log on weekends and she kind of gets her naps all over the place. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/short-night-sleeplong-naps-anyone-asked-daycare-to-wake-lo-up#post-1100845 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 11:01:08 +0000 Rubies 1100845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never but our daycare has a form you can fill out that indicates that you want your kid to wake up after an hour's nap (as opposed to the 2-hour nap).</p> <p>ETA: DD is 2 years old, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/short-night-sleeplong-naps-anyone-asked-daycare-to-wake-lo-up#post-1100836 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 10:58:08 +0000 JoJoGirl 1100836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well.. daycare just texted me she has been asleep for 2 hrs 40 mins :-/ I asked them to wake her up in 10 mins if she's still asleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/short-night-sleeplong-naps-anyone-asked-daycare-to-wake-lo-up#post-1100578 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 09:37:52 +0000 JoJoGirl 1100578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah.. i need to keep better notes of how her sleep is different during the day and on weekends. I know she's being stimulated a lot more at daycare than she is at home too.</p> <p>@blackbird: How much does she ususally sleep total during the day? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/short-night-sleeplong-naps-anyone-asked-daycare-to-wake-lo-up#post-1100269 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 07:42:26 +0000 Smurfette 1100269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoJoGirl: I say just ask them to wake her after 2 hours. If it doesn't work, then you can tell them to not anymore. I know there is a child in R's class that is woken up after 1 1/2 cause it is noted on the board with feeding and diaper times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/short-night-sleeplong-naps-anyone-asked-daycare-to-wake-lo-up#post-1100268 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 07:41:40 +0000 blackbird 1100268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have daycare wake her after 1 hour. Naps are only 1 hour long. Usually they're about 45-60min, though. I don't know that it greatly impacted her night sleep (although she has been sleeping better lately) but it mostly helps us get her DOWN at a consistent time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/short-night-sleeplong-naps-anyone-asked-daycare-to-wake-lo-up#post-1100263 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 07:39:28 +0000 JoJoGirl 1100263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: She naps consistently around 4 hrs. Sometimes it's 2 2-hr naps, sometimes it's one 2-hr and 2 30-min, yesterday it was 4 30-min (Weird). She often has to take another catnap when she gets home if he last nap ended around 3.. yesterday she slept 5:30pm-6pm in order to make it through til bedtime.</p> <p>@Revel: Maybe I should! She has slept 2.5 hrs at a time there before.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/short-night-sleeplong-naps-anyone-asked-daycare-to-wake-lo-up#post-1100257 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 07:36:28 +0000 Revel 1100257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daycare would laugh if I asked this because all I've been wanting is them to get my LO down for naps!</p> <p>I don't see a problem though with asking that they wake her after 2 hours or so. I actually know my parents did this with me in childcare when I was a little older, and I turned out OK :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/short-night-sleeplong-naps-anyone-asked-daycare-to-wake-lo-up#post-1100244 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 07:32:04 +0000 Smurfette 1100244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How long of stretches is she doing? Is she napping all day? Or more like 2 massive naps? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/short-night-sleeplong-naps-anyone-asked-daycare-to-wake-lo-up#post-1100239 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 07:30:02 +0000 Adira 1100239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoJoGirl: Hopefully they're writing all the details which is why they haven't responded yet!</p> <p>But yeah, maybe just say to daycare "Would you mind waking her if she's been asleep for 2 hours - I think she's been getting her days and nights mixed up sometimes!" Xander always hates being woken up, but I usually feed him immediately, so he gets over it pretty quick. Maybe that's how it will work out for your LO too? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/short-night-sleeplong-naps-anyone-asked-daycare-to-wake-lo-up#post-1100233 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 07:27:26 +0000 JoJoGirl 1100233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: I gotta keep better records I guess of weekends vs. weekdays. But at home, 2 hrs is my general rule. </p> <p>Who voted yes it helps?! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/short-night-sleeplong-naps-anyone-asked-daycare-to-wake-lo-up#post-1100211 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 07:13:29 +0000 Adira 1100211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So Xander's naps are terrible at daycare, so I haven't had to deal with this yet, but at home, I usually wake Xander up if his nap gets to ~2 hours to keep him from oversleeping during the day. I have no idea if this helps or hurts him, but he's a great night sleeper, so waking him up from a nap hasn't HURT his sleep at all.</p> <p>Maybe you could ask daycare to just wake her if she's been sleeping for 2 hours or so? You could at least try it one week and see what happens! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/short-night-sleeplong-naps-anyone-asked-daycare-to-wake-lo-up#post-1100201 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 07:04:15 +0000 JoJoGirl 1100201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO's nights have been getting shorter and shorter since she started daycare, now hovering around 9 hrs with one wakeup to eat (8-5). I'm in touch with my Isis consultant person, but I have a feeling she's going to tell me to shorten her day sleep in order to extend her nights.</p> <p>Obviously daycare lets her sleep as long as she wants (as I would expect!). </p> <p>Has anyone had to talk to daycare about waking their LO from naps? I hate having to do this, but admit the days we need to (weekends where we have places to be, etc), she does sleep longer at night. I hear if they approach around 5 hrs of day sleep, it's too much and cuts into nights. LO hovers around 4-4.5 right now. </p> <p>She is 4.5 months old. </p>
