My DS will start with a childminder 3 days a week at the start of September- he will be almost a year old.
Sleep has been a real odyssey, and its only the last 2 months or so that I have managed to get him in his cot in the day reliably. He now has 2 naps a day, morning lasts between 30 mins and an hr (I wake him after that) and lunch anything from 40 mins to 2 hrs.
I am now of course panicking about him.napping at the childminders. When he sleeps at home.he has a blackout blind and white noise. She said she could do a blacked out room.if needs be but she seemed surprised.
What do I do? Do I gradually try and wean him off the dark/ white noise? We have a snooze shade and he does sleep in his pram if its moving - I could try the pram indoors with the shade on? Will he just get used to it?
I'm trying to keep calm about the idea of going back but this has really panicked me!
