Sleep and nursery help/support

[Twistylemon]

Hiya. I'm hoping someone can help please. Or to sympathise with me please

My toddler is almost 23 months old, and doesn't want to nap at nursery for last 6 to 8 weeks, she attends 3 days a week. We pick her up around 330pm and she copes well until bedtime. Though she is overtired.

Come middle of the night were awake for 2 to 3 hours, which is her way of saying mum I'm overtired.

It was beautiful over Christmas period, sleeping 1.45 to 2 hours in day and 11 over night. Though as soon as we start nursery again it's a mess. It's same by end of weekend we're sleeping great. But back to square one by Monday evening.

I'm tired. She's tired. I usually go in change nappy if needed. Do a little calpol and teething gel just incase. Return a few times, reassure. And nursery say they try putting her down. But she stands up and says "no staff name"

She's self-soothes 100 percent.

White noise

Dummy given.

If I pick her up, it has been known she will fall asleep on way home with me. But doesn't appear to with others.

Any ideas? Do I go for a 4pm nap for 15mins at home?

Hi,

my son is about to start longer hours (past his nap time) at nursery coming Monday and we're anxious about nap time too. He really can't last the whole day without a nap but we've had some practice of those days already. If we missed his nap bc we've been out, we give him 10-15 minutes and wake him up straight away! No matter how hard it is.

that way you still have a decent bed time. He's sleep trained so we leave him in his room every night at 8pm (we prefer 8-8.30 bed time as opposed to 6/7pm) and he knocked out by 8.30 or 8.45.

when we've given him any more than 15 minutes he doesn't knock out until 9.45!

so we will just do that. X

Does she need to go to nursery? Is it childcare or just for socialisation etc? If not, I'd just take her out. Or send her mornings only until she drops her nap.

If she needs to be there I would speak to the nursery about being a little more insistent on the nap front, it doesn't sound like they're trying very hard.

I would also try the cat nap on the way home and see if that helps. It could possibly make everything worse, but it's probably worth a try!

If I'm with her she has a cheeky 15 min nap on way home, but isn't dropping off with anyone else picking her up. I rarely do drop off or pick ups as I'm working 12 hour shifts.

Yes she does need nursery and is for childcare, and to be honest most the time she does like nursery, goes off quite happily.

Approx times for nursery are 8am/930am starts to 330pm/530pm.

I will have to speak about it, yesterday during the day was horrendous, melt downs all day, screaming and shouting, grumpy, moody and Generally it was a hell day. She was asleep by 730pm. Awake at 630am which is obviously not enough in a 24 hour sleep period, and she's always been low sleep needs too.
