Hi!
After some advice... my LO started nursery 3 weeks ago, it is going ok, still a lot of tears at drop off but apparently he has a good time when he is there. My main concern though is that when I pick him up/up until he goes to sleep he has absolutely shattered and over tired.
Before nursery, he had a good routine going off wake up around 7:30, first nap around 11ish for 1.5 hours and then second nap around 3 for an hour. Then bedtime around 7:30/8.
Now at nursery he is only have one nap; I believe they put them down around 12:30 and on average my LO is only napping for around 40 mins. Then this is the only nap he is having a day... he is miserable when he comes home! And nursery say he doesn't eat a lot of his lunch... I'm thinking this is because they give the babies lunch at 11:30 (before their nap) but my LO is used to waking up, having breakfast then napping before having lunch at about 12:30/1.
I don't know what to do; I feel like a pain broaching this with nursery as I'm assuming they have the same plan/routine for all the treatment so don't know if they will amend things for my LO but he just seems so miserable when he comes home it breaks my heart. Like I said, apparently he's great when he's there but he's sleep deprived surely? I thought at his age (13 months) they were meant to get 2-3 hrs nap time a day?
Help please. How am I best to go about this situation for my baby boy? He is at nursery 3 days a week, so the other 4 days we follow our normal routine of 2 naps, should I drop him to 1 nap to get him used to nurseries routine? I just don't know what to do. TIA x
