Go gradually when she is super drowsy and you can feel the latch is getting weaker pul her off and rock her in your arms or put her in her cot and tap her as she drifts off. And then every few days take her off 5,10,15 min before nap. I use to always tap during the feed so when I I stopped feeding to sleep my little one still had the tap.
But daycare may good, mine try and give a bottle of before nap. And his ebf too

I didn't change a thing. My girl got super quick used to falling asleep in different ways with different caregivers. It helped that the educators at daycare were attentive and made an effort to help her fall asleep.

You might be surprised. I feed my 1 year old to sleep and at daycare she is happy to be rocked.
