Naps better at daycare

LO has been taking at least three 1-hour naps at her in-home daycare. The DCP said she just lays her down when she's tired and she passes out. This week she took several 2.5- to 3-hour naps, which she hasn't done for me since early July.

LO doesn't nap well on the weekends and I thought it was mainly because DH figures she can just sleep in the stroller or car seat while we are on the go. He's out of town this weekend so napping has been my primary focus... and I am failing. Miserably. I'm having flashbacks to the last weeks of my maternity leave and not the good parts.

LO gets a lot more stimulation at daycare -- 5 other kids and 2 providers, instead of just the dog and me. I try but I can't compare. Is there anything else I can be doing?

I'll ask the DCP this week but I would love some May mama advice.

Re: Naps better at daycare

  • Hmm I thought about the noise in passing but haven't experimented with noise level. And thank you for the encouragement that it may take a few weeks. Today LO had a good day at daycare so I'm hoping to keep it up next weekend too.
