Transition to daycare

BeetleBugHafSheJani · July 2014

DS is going to daycare soon and I am worried about him taking naps since the only way he will sleep is swaddled in his swing, neither of which daycares in nc will do due to SIDS regulations for the state. I am trying to get him less reliant on the swaddle and swing but am having a tough time. Is anyone else going through this? If so, did you break one habit before the other? How long did it take?

I've been doing the halo swaddle with arm out option bag type instead of the regular swaddles. Here they can use a sleep sack but no swaddle so their arms must be out.

I'm no help on the swing naps. He naps in his crib usually.

my kid refuses to nap more than 30 minutes during the day - maybe 3-4 times a day so I'm hoping they can work magic on her.

I'll let you know. Carter starts daycare tomorrow. At home, he naps swaddled in his crib with a sound machine and the room kept dark. At daycare they can't swaddle, the room is loud and the lights are on. I anticipate a disaster. DD never slept well in the infant room at daycare

Most kids sleep very differently at home than at day care.

Some of my kids had to be rocked or needed pacis at home. They we're fine at daycare. It's a different environment with other children around and staff who have tricks and are used to getting new children into their routine. Chances are it will all be fine
