[quote=Anonymous]DD was a bad napper. At the time she started daycare at 5 months we were really struggling, trying "fuss it out" (letting the baby cry for a limited period of time) at home, but with limited success. She had a lot of trouble with naps at daycare. They ended up feeding her to sleep often and she didn't nap a lot. I don't know that it was as horrible for her as I thought given that she wasn't especially fussy and slept well at night. I think looking back two things would have helped: 1. Committing to nap training (extinction) at 6 months 2. Following the 2-3-4 schedule (2 hours of wake time in the morning, 3 after morning nap and 4 after the afternoon nap) - this means 2 naps per day. We were still trying for 3 naps which was stupid because DD did not need that much sleep. [/quote]
