Settling with nanny how long?

[NiamhC]

I've just gone back to work 3 days and had my nanny for 5 weeks. We had 4 weeks of settling with me heading off most of the time from week 2/3. My LO is 14 months and quite happy with her except he's not sleeping well for her :( She follows my routine and timings exactly but he takes longer to settle for her and just doesn't sleep as long, the days I have him he's fine (most of the time). So I'm sure it's a ??mummy thing but he was fine for the first few weeks....just wondering if anyone else had this issue and how long it took for LO to get used to things? My 6 year old is fine! Thx x

it's pretty normal for kids to sleep differently for nanny vs mummy tbh.

is it a problem that your DS takes longer to settle and sleeps less time with your nanny? is he unhappy? will he go to bed earlier on nanny days to catch up on sleep? or sleep in later the day after?

how many naps does he have.. 14 months is quite a common age to drop from 2 to 1 so if he still has 2 then maybe this is how he's dropping a nap?

Hi thank you! I don't get home til 6 so on the days I work he's up in the bath 6.20 bed 7 I do earlier if I can and think he needs its. We are in the whole dropping to one nap thing and he was doing great but as he's not been sleeping well for her we are back on 2 naps quite often. It's not ideal he doesn't sleep as well as he's been getting overtired waking earlier in the morning and getting quite grotty (also making dropping to one nap hard) but I can catch him up the days I have him. I hope it settles a bit tho :( I'll keep going with getting him to one nap too as think that will help :)x

Should add no hecdoesnt sleep late in the morning overtired for him means early waking ??x

It's totally normal that things won't be exactly the same as when your child with you. The little one I look after is an excellent sleeper the full two hours at lunch. With her parents not so much. As long as you feel your child is happy over all with the nanny that's the main thing really

Maybe your -14mth senses you are about. 4 weeks is a very long handover

Sure the sleep will settle when you aRe at work :)

Thank you I'm back at work now and although we had a 4 week handover I wasn't about I went out and did work days too so I wasn't actually about. As you say hopefully it will settle tho x
