Parents Want New Nap Schedule

[happymom]

Although, I have to admit, I love it when the one year old does give up the morning nap. It just frees us all up for more fun!

Me too! And thanks guys!

I love happy mom.
That is all.
Happy mom gets it.

I like her suggestion, too. 'We are working on it'


I mean, if the child gets up earlier for daycare M-F, chances are they are going to need to make up that sleep time somewhere. If the child doesn't on weekends, they won't. Some days we ALL need more/less sleep.

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for your input.

I tried explaining that I was working on it, but I was asked specifically for times of sleep.

I explained baby cried all AM and couldn't make it, as he had at home, and it wrecked his whole day.

I told them the next day that I asked other daycare professionals for advice, and told her I'd try the catnap.

It didn't work, even though baby ended up napping the second nap right on schedule.

On Friday I finally gave them an article on sleep regression, since baby was hungry and irritable all day long. I received a text after baby was picked up, telling me baby was refusing bed and she hadn't yet read the article.

But wouldn't you know it, Saturday baby took two naps on my schedule and went to bed fine! Trouble on Sunday, not Monday.

Mom finally agrees that this was sleep regression and baby is not ready to transition.

Thank you all, again, for your help!
