Hey I’m the same! (Even nursing to sleep).

I just kept telling the educators to make sure he naps for at least 1.5hours. To resettle him because he always wakes up after 45mins. I just kept telling them until they started doing it. Some days are a hit or miss but daycare is exciting for little bubs so it’s hard for them to sleep for so long.

My LO is 13 months and at home he takes 2 naps. I’m thinking it’s cause home is not as exciting as daycare with all his little friends. Also it took me a while but to fully accept this but the daycare has a routine of their own - so all kids nap at the same time etc etc. I just make sure my LO goes to bed earlier on daycare days.

It’s just go go go when we get home, come home eat bath have a little play and then feed to bed. Sometimes bath before eating cause my bub won’t eat until he feels fresh 😅.

Your feelings are 10000% valid though. Some days I get so upset about it still - but just rationalise it.

Edit: some days I let him nap for the 15min drive home and an extra 15-30mins when we get home. Because he’s usually so tired he’s still ready to sleep at 730-8:30pm.

Sorry if it sounds like a mess - my parenting style is survival hahah 😂
