Daycare: day 2

gitiggr · February 2013

Please tell me it gets easier! DS started DC yesterday, and it was rough. He did great with the other babies and everything, and I know there's gonna be an adjustment period. But he was there from 8 to 1 and napped from 10 to 10:40. Today was 7:45 to 3, but only napped once from 11:40 to 12:15!
I guess I screwed him over in the nap department because even though we've come a long way from napping on me, he's used to blackout curtains, 2 hour awake times, constant static white noise, etc. How/when will he find a decent sleep rhythm? I feel bad for the little dude, and I really wish he weren't so miserable now when we get home and before bed.

It does get easier. He just has to figure out DC and how to nap there. Personally, if he's napping such a short time and you are picking up at 3 then I'd go home and put him down for another nap at least until he starts napping better. HUGS! Working mom is hard!

It will get better! But, I will say that DD doesn't nap at daycare. She'll take maybe 2 catnaps of 15 to 20 minutes a piece, and that's it. On the plus side, she sleeps SO much better at night on the days she goes to daycare!

It definitely gets better. Our daycare has a daily routine that DD got comfortable with after a week or so. She takes a morning and afternoon nap and always eats at the same time now. She even does the same routine on the weekends. It's actually pretty nice.
