Well, mom and dad have let her cat nap for 8 months. As mom said we’ve had an eight month holiday where everybody did whatever they wanted whenever they wanted= living hell for daycare provider.

We had a sort of schedule the first 6 months meaning eat every 2 hours/nap right after and then a nap schedule starting at 6 months. It's one reason why I'm glad we didn't need daycare - I had him on a great schedule and wouldn't have wanted to shift that. He was a fabulous sleeper from age 10 weeks to almost 7 years old (and he would have started through the night before 10 weeks but we had a miscommunication with his former pediatrician) -we were truly blessed! I hope he falls into the schedule.

I hope she does too. All my other kids sleep for 2.5 hours every afternoon.

Yes -when mine was 8 months old he was on 3 naps/day, down to 2 at one year, 1 at 19 months. I know daycare works differently -we mostly followed a sleep habits book we liked and even though my son couldn't read yet lol it worked for him!

I was unlucky, my son stopped all napping by 19 months .

Yes I know many in that situation! Mine stopped napping in the crib at 25 months or so but would nap in the stroller and keep napping if you stopped pushing. He did that until about 4.5 years

Many many Autistic people don’t sleep well. He didn’t sleep a full night until 7 and never napped after 19 months.

Yes, I've heard of that. And I know of many children who are not autistic are "typical" and don't sleep well as babies, don't nap well, etc. It's hard on the parents for sure!

Everyone has a nasty cold . Ick.

Time to be done. She sent me a text today that she did not feel what she got paid was fair. Because I got another child and make great money now she feels she is entitled to more pay though she works less . Yup, entitled is right. Changed my Netflix password and no longer going to order Scentsy with her daughter and maybe she doesn’t have a job with me Monday. 😡😡😡😡

That's tough. But I think you're right.
