Daycare and an 8 week old
Hi Ladies. I am having an extremely tough time right now. We started my daughter in daycare on Monday when I had to start back at work. She just turned 8 weeks. The daycare we put her in watched both of my nieces and everyone who has used them loves them. But my daughter only had two 20 minute naps yesterday and she was there from 8-4 and it wasn’t any better the first two days. When we get her home she is so tired she try’s to sleep through her bath time. All I can do is cry, I feel horrible she has to be in daycare so young and on top of that we aren’t getting to spend any time with her because she is so exhausted. I don’t want her to forget me or make habits out of sleeping the entire time she is home. I asked the daycare to try and get her to nap more but I’m so worried they will just lay her down and let her cry and say they tried. I know we both need time to adjust but it’s really not easy especially when I am getting no time with her. Has anyone else had this issue ? How long did it take for your little one to get the hang of daycare and get the rest they need during the day? I’m miserable and having a really hard time coping just when I was getting the hang of everything. I have a really good job and I used to love it but now all I am doing is barley making it through the day so I can go home and cry while she sleeps.
