Daycare Issues
So my LO started daycare 3 days ago. Magically in those 3 days his sleep schedule has been DESTROYED. Before daycare he would be up for 1.5-2 hours then go for a 45 minute nap (occasionally a 1-2 hour nap). The point is I knew when he would need a nap during the day and when he would go to bed at night. Since he started daycare, he maybe naps 2 times a day, each time for only 20-30 minutes (per the caregivers notes). When he gets home he refuses to nap, is extremely overtired and when he finally goes down for bed at 7:30pm (mind you he's now up for 6 hours by this point--I swear the daycare keeps him up after 1:30pm and I don't get there until 4:30pm) he wakes up every 3 hours to feed. I know the change in environment can take some getting used to, but this has just been frustrating. This also screwed up his eating habits! He went from eating 26-32oz a day to now around 18-20oz. The past 3 days he only ate 5-6oz between 9:30am-4:30pm. I mean come on! I get he can be a fussy eater, but that's just crap. I rather keep him at home with me, but I work from home and my boss already told me I need to bump up my hours and since I deal with customers and contractors on the phone, I can't have a baby crying in the background. Sorry for the long post, but I needed to vent 😧
