New dcg here that was sick all last week, and is here for 8 weeks total.
Today she cried from drop off until 10:30, and at that point started screaming "I take nap" "I take nap". So I put her down for a nap thinking she was super overstimulated or actually really tired.
She ended up sleeping until 4! I kept going in there and making sure she was actually asleep, and she was...out.cold.
When Dad picked up I told him how long she slept and he was pretty mad. He just kept saying "She was in that room all day!" I didn't know what to say to him. I assure him that she was asleep, and that she obviously needed it. But he just kept saying "She was in that room all day?!"
My policies state clearly that I will not wake a sleeping child unless they are not yet to their birth weight and need to eat. And there is a spot for them to initial next to this policy.
I'm not sure what I should say or do tomorrow with this situation. Advice? Was I in the wrong to let her sleep?
