Daycare and naps

My sweet boy is in daycare and they have dedicated naptime from 1230 to 230. He sleeps but not the entire time. He is always tired and naps again from about 4 to 5pm

What are your babies' nap schedules like at 1 year and if in daycare?

If he is home on the weekend, he happily naps from 1pm to 3 or 4 and that's all he needs.

Not in daycare. This is his schedule when at home. My mil does take him 4 days a week and he does not nap for her. She brings him home at 2 or 3 and he usually only has one nap and goes to bed at 8 or 830 if he's not too crabby.


Up at 8 nap at 11
Up at 1 nap 3 or 4 (4 is my preference but sometimes he is so crabby)
Bed at 9

At home my daughter takes 2 naps most weekends. She's usually up between 6 and 7, naps for 1-1.5 hours around 9:30, naps for 1-1.5 hours around 2:30, and goes to bed around 7.

Daycare is a completely different story though. She's never napped well there, and only takes one nap after lunch. Most days it's like a 45 min - an hour cat nap, but on a rare occasion, she'll sleep well for 1-1.5 hours. She sleeps fairly well at night either way, but is definitely fussier in the evening when she has less daytime sleep

My son just turned one last weekend and moved up to the next class at daycare with only 1 nap, they nap from 1pm-3pm, so far he’s napping roughly 1.5 hours during that time and then no more naps until bedtime at 6:30pm. He starts his day at 6am. I wasn’t sure how he would cope with the longer morning wake window but he’s doing great and his afternoon wake window is not much longer than it was when he was on 2 naps since his second nap was normally only 30 mins.

We don’t have schedule, I just put her to sleep when she gets fussy. It may be 3 hours after waking up, may be 5

My son does 1 nap at daycare. Typically 1.5 hours but anywhere between 1 and 3 hours. I thought he slept way too little (he sleeps more on the weekends) but I'm glad to read he's about average from all these stories.

He does seem to be happier on 2.5-3.5 h nap a day
But most of tge time doesn't sleep that much.

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

Baby with chronic congestion

Hi everyone! My 1 year has been a congested baby since birth almost. She breathes through her mouth so often that it wakes her up multiple times at night and she cries and screams and then struggles to go back to sleep. She wakes up every 1-3 hours and sometimes can’t go back to sleep for 2-3 hours!!! Piriton is the only thing that seems to help her sleep mostly through the night but I can’t keep giving her that!!
Does anyone have tips as to have I can do or give her? Has anyone experienced? I have no idea when I’ll get an ENT appointment and I have no idea what he can give a 13 mo :( we are desperate for sleep so any tips are welcome!! We have tried steam inhalation, saline drops, vapour rubs and everything off the counter basically!
