My DD started nursery at 22 months and had a very difficult settling in period with the effect that nights got disrupted, we went completely backwards with dummy use, instead of falling asleep by herself, she'd have to fall asleep in my lap and be firmly asleep before putting her to bed.
Now six months on, while she is more settled in nursery during the day, she still does not nap there which leads to her being very tired and irritable in the evening - at home she has about 2 hours every day. She also starts the crying at the crack of dawn until DH takes her to nursery - it is really stressful to have a wailing toddler following you around for an hour or so, crying loudly - no amount of cuddling etc will silence her.
She generally is fine all day in nursery though, even has cracked potty training but the mornings and evenings are really tough as she gets a little aggressive as well, throws tantrums etc - clearly all related to the tiredness. Also, she is quite difficult on Saturday mornings too as inevitably wakes up too early (a bit past 5am) and is persistent about trying to make daddy leave as then she is certain it is a home day (she goes to nursery Wed, Thu and Fri).
I am getting really, really tired of the wailing and crying and have started wondering if it'll ever get better. Will she ever sleep there and will she ever stop crying every single morning???
