Daycare and Naps
4 month old was doing great! Wake at 6:30, then 1/1.5/2/2/2 with the 1st, 2nd, and 4th nap being about 30-40 mins, the 3rd being an hour for a total of 2.5-3 hours of naps per day. Bedtime at 7 with 1 wake up.
But then day care started…. We’ve only done half days this week (pick up at 3 pm) and so far she’s only slept one 25 minute nap with them. I pick her up and she’s hysterically over tired then comes home and wants to sleep at 4-5:30 obviously making bed time difficult.
The other kids in her classroom are older (8-11 months) so they do an 11 am nap and a 2:30 nap.
What should we do? Adjust night time sleep? Trust that she’ll figure it out?
