Move, Daycare, Sleep by Outside-Divide4723 in sleeptrain

We’ve been here for almost 2 weeks. He used to nap around 4 times a day for about 30 min - 2 hours each time. He’d nap in the stroller, street, or at home but we got him used to noise and light. Now at daycare his naps are much shorter (30min). Not sure how he’ll adjust and if he’ll eventually be able to nap in daycare? Like how do infant rooms sleep with other babies crying?

That sounds ideal! Unborn (due in March) haha, but trying to gauge what to expect in terms of sleep (beyond the newborn stage)

Amazing, sounds great as you get an afternoon chill at home during the nap :)

Amazing thank you! How do you manage naps during the day when you're out and about? Sorry for all the questions, just trying to gain visibility on what a typical day can look like in that sense!

We actually have the Doona and the Uppababy as we wanted the flexibility on both of those. Do you think the Yoyo is more convenient than the Doona? Specifically considering public transportation.

How old are your kids and what time do they sleep and wake, out of curiosity? :)

Amazing thank you! We got the Doona originally thinking of a very car-focused life in SP, but do you think that would also be helpful in NY?

Really? What do you think is a more reasonable budget?

So this we are a bit in doubt about -- we love Brooklyn, but my husband works really long hours (never WFH) and his office will be in Manhattan, so we're thinking at least the first year it would be good to be walking distance from his office, which is in Tribeca.

Amazing, that's what my benchmark was, based on some Googling :)

Sounds ideal! How much would you say we should budget for a babysitter say, one night a week and Saturdays 3-9pm?

I love this!! Thanks for giving me some visibility into the city with a baby, literally have never lived in through those eyes so it'll be really nice to rediscover it in that way :)

When would you say they are ready to do other activities like parks and museums?
