[quote=Anonymous]The responses here have to be a joke.  I'm not sure how OP could "prepare" her daughter for daycare naps.  The sanctimommies on here (if they are actually even mothers; I feel bad for their children with how unkind and judgemental they sound) are out of control.

OP - not all daycares allow babies to cry by themselves for more than a minute or two.  I think if you talked to your daycare, they will put your mind at ease.  Is is possible to be able for her to have a few shorter days at daycare to ease the transition?  She will be OK!  My daugher wouldn't take a bottle and nursed to sleep and I worried about the same thing.  It might be a rough few days, but she will transition.  My daughter didn't even cry much like I thought.  She knew me and my boobs were elsewhere and just learned another way to soothe with her nanny.  It will probably be like most things in life, not as bad as you have imagined in your head.  Just call periodically throughout the day.  Teachers are used to this with new children.

I also wanted to let you know that my daughter nursed a lot at night even at that age.  We still cosleep at age 2.  It works for us.  If it works for you, don't worry about what anyone else says.  It is not hurting your child or you to continue.  I'm not sure why others care so much, it is kind of strange to care so much about how a stranger is parenting their child (if there is no abuse occuring).[/quote]
