Baby barely sleeping at nursery!
My girl is 10 months old and at nursery 2 days a week. She’s getting around 40mins sleep there on average and always falls asleep on the way home at 5/5.30🤦🏻♀️ which is resulting in late bedtime when she’s needing an early one! She’s also refusing a bottle there and is even fussy with milk from a sippy cup there. She takes a bottle ok from dad at home.
She’s eating well there, she’s so good natured and they always praise how well she’s done at the end of the day but she is shattered when I pick her up! She also seems to have attached herself to a member of staff which is nice atleast.
But the sleep situ is stressing me out a bit. She’s been breast fed to sleep a lot but I’ve made a big effort to get her just rocked to sleep but she’s so used to black out blinds and white noise, it doesn’t suit the bright noisy nursery environment. I’m feeling mum guilt for having her in nursery so early but I needed to return to work for financial reasons!
Is anyone else finding the same? Or have any advise? Thank you

I used the pampers smart sleep coach app and it really helped. We were co-sleeping and doing all contact naps until bub was 7 months old (he was tongue tied so fed constantly). Everyone told me Ive made a rod for my back and he will be with us forever etc . but I did a gentle sleep training method which teaches you how to remove 'sleep crutches' like white noise, rocking to sleep etc slowly. Now my bub only sleeps in his cot and I literally just put him down awake with nothing to help him sleep and he falls asleep within a few mins and stays asleep/has decent naps.It takes a bit of commitment and you can choose a quicker/harsher method on the app for quicker results but I wanted to do the slow one, honesty worked well for us! Let me know if youd like more advcie and good luck!
