help, I feel liek I am losing my mind. My daughter will no longer nap for me. She will fall asleep but wakes up aft 30 mins. and will not go back down. She only does this to me and her dad not her child care. What do I do, she sleep 12 hours at night, but I know my baby needs her naps. We have a great routine, she sleeps, she eats, we play, she sleeps. but for some reason she wakes early for her naps with others she is napping 3 hours in morning and 2 hours in the afternoon.
Please help me

Can you post your routine for us so we can take a look?  Do you know the routine the childcare has her on?

Bed time

I have always put her to bed wide awake. I just do not get it. this schedule works for everyone except when I am trying it on the weekends. She has now been in child care for 2 weeks and last weekend and today she only took a 30 min morning nap for me and then 45 this afternoon. I can't do this, i need my me time! Thanks in advance for help!

I am no expert because I am battling the same thing...but (just a thought) maybe she misses you?  I know she is kind of little but maybe?

also long time between feeds in am and then times kind of shorten as the day goes on.  Is that you or child care? Might be something to look at from an EASY point of view.

I am envious...neither of my children have ever consistently napped that long!!
