napping @ daycare vs home
WHY OH WHY does my child sleep for 3-4 hours at daycare, but whenever I have him for the day its 1-2 hours TOPS. I don't get it!
I had off Monday and Tuesday he isn't at daycare. Sat, sun, Monday and Tues he took a 1.5 hour nap in the morn and a like 45 minutes in the afternoon. WHY or HOW does she get him to sleep so long! She does the same thing that I do!

Re: napping @ daycare vs home
In my case it's the opposite, DS sleeps a lot better at home than he does at daycare. He took two 30 minute naps there yesterday.

Re: napping @ daycare vs home
Not sure... I've heard this b4 though. DS sleeps well both at daycare and at home. I think he sleeps longer there. Maybe they feel at daycare they're not missing anything b/c everyone else is asleep. They play the soft music and the kids get all cozy on their cots. Then at home mommy is up and around so he wants to be with her. There's no one else sleeping in their room so it's not fun
Just a guess though

Re: napping @ daycare vs home
My DD always napped better at home than at daycare (she's pretty much done with the naps now at 4)
however my son naps better at daycare than at home. Actually if my DH is home (which is rare) he will nap, but on my days home (they go to daycare 3 days) with them he won't nap at all!!!  So it seems he only doesn't nap for me!

Re: napping @ daycare vs home

Re: napping @ daycare vs home
same here. I work part time so my DC goes 3 days a week. T will sleep 2+ at daycare and only 1 or 1 1/2 for me at home. I think in his case there is so much more going on at daycare..being with all the kids and it tires him out. He also sleeps better through the nights the days he goes versus when he is home.

Re: napping @ daycare vs home
Its one of the modern mysteries of the world.
AJ has ALWAYS done this. I even spied on her at daycare as a infant to see if they were lying!
She sleeps on time for 2hrs straight (if not more) at daycare right now (2yrs old) but at home its erratic and random and less than 2hrs.
I don't understand it
I will never get it
I just have learned to let it go

Re: napping @ daycare vs home
How old is your DS?
Mine was the same way until he got to the toddler room. In the infant room they slept in the swing and in toddlers, they sleep in a crib. I always have him nap in a crib at home. So when it was different, he was confused LOL....but now he usually takes a 2 hour nap, same as at daycare.

Same here.
I guess its just a different environment. At daycare DD is in an open room with other kids to wake her, though the other 2 nap at the same time. At home she has her own room and its dark...love the room-darkening shades!

Same with us! Kieran usually takes 2 30 or 40-minute naps at daycare. On the days he's home, he will take one 2.5 hour nap during that time!

Re: napping @ daycare vs home
DD does not go to daycare, but does go to my mother's and my mother in law's during the day. She has always napped better there. I think it's the "I know Mommy is home" thing.....it bugged me for the longest time and made me feel like I was doing something wrong. I am OK with it now. I chalk it up to that she likes me best
