(Read <a href=\"https:\/\/lacchiappasonno.com\/en\/summertime\/\">here <\/a>about holidays and sleep)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether they\u2019ve already gotten their baby on a carefully planned nap schedule or they\u2019re planning on starting one, a problem obviously arises if their daycare provider doesn\u2019t follow that same schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;In the latter scenario, parents have a little bit more leeway, and I always suggest that they look around and try their best to find a daycare that follows at least a <em>similar <\/em>schedule as the one the parents are comfortable with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After all, sleep is such a crucial element of your little one\u2019s development, and their day to day life, that it should be a primary concern when you\u2019re choosing where they\u2019ll be spending their day, so I\u2019m a huge advocate of shopping around until you find one that\u2019s on the same page as you, nap-wise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unfortunately, there are a finite number of daycare providers in any given area, so that might not be an option. Or maybe your little one has already started going to daycare and they only put the kids down for one nap a day.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this instance, the most important thing to do is communicate what you\u2019re okay with. Let them know that you\u2019ve been working on a naptime schedule and ask if they can accommodate the times you\u2019ve been working with. If they agree, great! Many daycares are happy to have a baby that sleeps a lot, and are always happy to have one that goes to sleep easily. Champion sleepers are welcome everywhere they go!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s also important that you let them know if you\u2019re alright with a little bit of crying while baby falls asleep, because if you don\u2019t tell them otherwise, they\u2019ll almost always soothe baby to sleep in one way or another as soon as they start to make some noise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some daycares, however, have a policy regarding crying, and will pick baby up and soothe them as soon as they start crying regardless of your instructions. This can be frustrating if you know your little one will fall asleep after 45 seconds of fussing, but if it\u2019s the policy of the daycare, there\u2019s not much you or the staff can do about it, so it\u2019s best to just focus on how to minimize the effect they have on the program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So let the daycare providers know what you would prefer as far as \u201csleep props\u201d go, and what you would prefer they avoid. If you\u2019ve just broken a serious soother habit, tell them about it and ask that they avoid offering pacifiers. If baby\u2019s got a strong association between rocking and falling asleep, ask that they soothe baby without picking her up. Again, most daycare providers are happy to make some arrangements with parents if it means a happy, sleeping baby and a happy, satisfied parent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The good news is that babies are quite often able to distinguish, somewhat, between what happens at daycare and what happens at home, as far as sleep routines are concerned. They have an easier time realizing that, even though they might have gotten rocked to sleep in the one environment, it doesn&#8217;t necessarily mean they\u2019ll be getting the same treatment at home, so bear that in mind when you\u2019re deciding how much diversion from the plan you\u2019re willing to accept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The other silver lining is that nap time sleep isn\u2019t quite as deep and \u201chigh-quality\u201d as nighttime sleep. The night is when baby really gets the good hours of rejuvenation and restorative effects of a solid snooze, so even though they might be missing out on some nap time, it\u2019s not as bad as if they weren\u2019t getting those hours at night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019m not usually big on making exceptions to the rules, as routine is such an important part of a baby\u2019s sleep, but sometimes you just have to shrug your shoulders and accept the reality of the situation. Work with your daycare, communicate your wishes and explain why it\u2019s important, and whatever they can\u2019t accommodate, well&#8230; you might as well accept it and move on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Your baby is starting daycare soon and you would like to know if this is the right time to start sleep training? <a href=\"https:\/\/lacchiappasonno.odoo.com\/appointment\/33?invite_token=9467eb7247df42c89577310a950534fe&#038;filter_appointment_type_ids=%5B33%5D&#038;\">Book a free preliminary call with us<\/a> and we\u2019ll be happy to find the best moment to start for your family.<br><br><br><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the biggest obstacles my clients face is what do when they send their little ones to daycare.
