Bad Daycare Naps
At a loss on how to improve my almost 8-month olds' sleep. I don't have control over naps at daycare and she only sleeps 30 min - 45 min each nap. Our ideal wake time would be 7AM but sometimes she wakes up at 6AM or 6:30AM. We try to let her soothe herself in the crib but we usually just end up waking for the day. Day care does her first nap at 10AM and second nap at 1PM. We usually end up putting her to sleep at 6:30. (3/3/4.5 wake windows currently) She can fall asleep independently at the start of the night but then usually wakes up every 2-3 hours. On occasion we can get a 4 hour stretch at the start of the night. We've been trying to CIO but she won't fall back asleep even after an hour of crying and we are both begging for sleep so at that point I cave and breastfeed her back to sleep. We've tried Ferber and it just makes her even more upset. Is our last WW stretching to 4.5 hrs too long? Should we push up her bed time to 6? How else can we help her connect her sleep cycles at night?
