It does sound like she's overtired. Is daycare only willing to do one nap a day? If that's the case then I've read that when transitioning to one nap, bedtime should be move up to compensate for overtiredness. If you try for a second nap and push bedtime back then her total wake time for the day will be too high and she will be even more tired. </p> <p>Good luck! I will probably be going through the same thing soon when LO stars daycare next week :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trying-to-figure-out-los-new-sleep-schedule#post-646790 Sat, 16 Mar 2013 12:42:46 +0000 Freckles 646790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Before daycare, LO was as predictable as a baby can be. 3 hours was her max awake time, and she would take 2 naps. She would fall asleep at 7pm after nursing and then sleep until 5:30, nurse and go back to sleep until 8ish.</p> <p>After 3 days of napping at daycare, her sleep schedule is upside down. She naps for only 1 hour at daycare after being awake for 4 hours. Then i pick her up and try to get her to nap for another hour or so. I was able to get her to nap around 4 pm the first 2 days, but she really fought it on the third/fourth day. Finally yesterday i put her to bed early and she was asleep by 6:30pm. </p> <p>It has become really difficult to put her down to sleep these days, and i really believe it is because she is overtired. Any suggestions on how i should change her schedule?</p> <p>Should i try to put her down for a nap when she comes home, and move back her bedtime? Or should i just move up her bedtime so she goes to bed early? </p> <p>She has been waking up at 6:30, and if this continues she will be awake for 5.5 hours before her first nap at daycare.</p> <p>Sorry it's so long. I worked so hard to get her sleep to where it was, and i feel helpless because i have no control over how she is at daycare!! </p>
