I work shifts and so DD is either at the CMs all day or goes there about 1.30/2pm ish. She is 14mo. She tends (on my days off and when im on lates) to have a mahoosive nap 9.30-11.30am. Then, sometimes she will have a 20min snooze at the CMs or home. Sometimes not at all. She is waking through the night (partially due to a bad cough waking her and in part, I think, to just learning to walk and it being so exciting for her).
Should I try and jig around her naps? Im not sure how I would even be able to accomodate a long afternoon nap and she would then sleep right through the time we would need to leave to be at CMs, yet everyone says they should have a lunchtime/afternoon big nap, and most on here seem to only have half an hour in the mornings.
I had intentions of waking her after 45 mins this morning, but then realised her need for the next nap would fall right over the drop off time. Its quite busy and full on at CMs (another toddler and school aged kids) so DD quite likes to get stuck in and play, so maybe the long AM nap works?
Just worried im getting ehr into bad habits.
