Infant not napping at daycare
My 7m old has been in daycare for one month now. He is barely napping there. Some days he’ll take one 5 minute nap. Other days he’ll get two 30 minute naps in. When he’s home he will nap for two hour stretches twice a day and a shorter nap in the late afternoon so I knows he’s capable of taking good naps.
The daycare leaves the fluorescent lighting on in the room all day. I have worked at a daycare before and there were times during the day that we’d dim the lights even if some babies were awake. This center says they have to leave the lights on (with no real explanation). I understand it will take time for my baby to adjust but I just don’t know how any human could sleep under fluorescent lighting.
I’m worried for my baby who’s not napping. Sleep is so crucial at this small age and I just don’t know what to do.
Is this what others experience for babies at daycare?
