I just had to call my sitter to find out my childs sleep schedual.  Over the weekend I realised how tierd dd is.  I had to put her to bed early last night.  She has not gotten enough sleep...Am I a bad mother?  Has anyone else had this problem?

    Babies tend to make their own schedules- I was constantly checking w/ the DCP when DD was an infant. I think it makes you a good mom that you're concerned about the sleep she's getting. As they get older and especially as they start to drop that morning nap, their schedules change. GL, I would just keep in touch w/ your sitter so you're aware of what your DD is doing. And don't feel bad if you're putting her down early, since you're giving her the sleep she needs.

    God NO! My husband and I do whatever our daycare provider tells us to. Get rid of bottles? Check. Nap at noon? Check. It makes life easier!

    Daycare writes down her nap times everyday and it's so helpful.  If she doesn't have a good nap then I know we need to go to bed earlier.

    Ditto!  Eliza is my baby and I make the decisions, but the women at daycare (the ones I would listen to anyway) have years more experience with kids, and spend so much time with DD they know her as well as we do.

    You're not a bad mom!  I call my sister for the same reason.  Although, DD never naps for us the same she does for her, I try hard to keep it the same.

    Ditto.  It's also helpful to have these sheets if someone else has to keep DC for a day so they can know times. 

    My sitter's sheet also has feeding times and what she ate.
