Sleep pressure

Nursery told me today that my LG class has had lots of new babies start and that because they aren’t settled and waking up crying my LG is now only having a 30 minute nap during the day as she’s being woken up by other babies. We have a 40 minute drive home and today it was very difficult to keep her awake. She slept maybe 5-10 minutes. Have I completely ruined her sleep pressure for the night? She was also up teething last night so she is knackered x

Not necessarily 😊. When he first started my baby was only sleeping 30 mins a day at nursery with 10 mins on the way home and still ready for bed at a normal time. Hope she sleeps ok 😊

One way to find out!

I hope not. Good luck

I would have let her have the sleep on the way home to avoid over tiredness. We are aiming for one nap day but my sleep consultant said if she only sleeps for less than an hour at nursery then to try and do a bridging nap after nursery to see her through until bedtime. My babies night problems are caused by over tiredness so we (try) to make sure she gets the right amount of day time sleep (2hrs) By her having a 10 min nap you have probably relieved at least some sleep pressure so just try and get her to bed a bit early

@Steph were dammed if we let them sleep, dammed if we don’t. Some people would say letting them nap that close to bedtime is a bad idea! Just never know if I’m doing right from wrong. My LG usually has 1/1:15 naps a day typically x

@Rebecca fingers crossed! She is still absolutely shattered, she didn’t each all of her dinner x

5-10 minutes won’t make a difference! They won’t have fallen into deep sleep so you’ll be grand x
