My 13 month old started nursery 2 weeks ago. She is going 2 full days a week, and now her sleep is suddenly terrible!
She has been sleeping amazingly since 8 months, we would put her in her cot at naptimes / bedtime and she would happily coo to herself until she fell asleep, also sleeping through the night.
Now she screams when we put her in her cot, throws her dummies out as she knows we will need to go in to pick them up, she will sometimes stop crying when we cuddle her but will start again as soon as we try to lay her back down. She is waking through the night, screaming and not self settling back to sleep so I am needing to either cuddle/bring to my bed until she calms down.
At nursery they lay her down on a mat with other children all around and pat her/stroke her to settle her to sleep otherwise she just gets up, so I think she is very confused and has forgotten how to sleep normally at home.
I'm pregnant again and due in 2 months! I'm panicking that I am going to be up with them both, and feel terrible that she was so happy before starting nursery. I am going to be on maternity leave again in a few weeks, my plan was to keep her going to nursery for the 2 days so I could have some calm time during the week with the new baby, but I'm thinking maybe I should take her out of nursery. It has only been 2 weeks, did this happen to anyone else and their baby eventually settled at home again?
