Starting nursery
Show your support
They find their own way, my little one (2 at the time) only fed to sleep with me but he was fine at nursery - he’s never had formula and isn’t that fussed on cows milk (doesn’t have it at home and is hit and miss at nursery). I made sure he had a toy from home for him to cuddle, so he has that to fall asleep with and associates it with sleep at nursery - I forgot it once and he didn’t nap. They tried different things until they found something that works for him and he’s usually one of the first to go down. He’s not the best eater but seems to be fine for the 6hrs he’s there. I’ve also looked after babies who breastfed to sleep at nurseries in the past and they always find a way which works. Feeding wise, she’ll make up for it when she’s with you if pumping doesn’t work for you. In my experience, I could get all the children at nursery to sleep with no problem (nurseries seem to have magic sleep dust!) but could I ever get my own kids to sleep without boob?! Nope 😂

Thank you all. She has suddenly become very clingy to me and doesn't even stay with her dad for over an hour. This is something very recent. If she doesn't see me, she will scream and nothing can settle her! I really don't want to quit work if she doesn't settle in the nursery. I'm only working part time and that's more for my sanity 🥹
They start with settling class and understand how the child is coping to Usually kids behave differently when mothers are not around. Give it a go may be going to nursery will teach her to take cows milk and nap on her own
