Hey everyone,
I've got a new one 12 months who joined me this Tuesday and great first week. Yes, she needs to be up in my arms a lot but then she is getting her sense of security with me. She eats well, smiles and what I think is a great first week.

Nap time however has been a challange. Her parents have asked me to keep her sleep schedule at home the same here to help with her adjustment to daycare and I have no problem with that but I fell she needs to go down early but, they know her best so I'm going with it. I've been getting comments of how horrible she is at night and it's not sleeping here that is the reason. Today I had to put her down for a nap at 11:30 with the rest of my crew who is sick ( cold bug my own kids seemed to have passed on) they all were off yesterday but today seems to have hammered the other 3 I have and they all needed to nap early. The little one 12 months was just screaming while eating her lunch. I really couldn't calm her and then when Ipicked her up, she put her head down on me. So...I did what I think was best for her and put her down and within 5 minutes out. BUT then woke up at 40 minute mark. Now just standing up looking around. i'm not going in the room she is in- seperate from the other kids as I hope she can fall sleep.


I'm feeling a little bad that I didn't follow the parent's suggestions as I emailed them to let them know about the cold bug going around and that she might catch it...and that i put her down early and why....and I got an email back saying that she was cranky last night and hope that she sleeps or they won't be able to put to her to bed tonight

I just find that the dad first time I met with him at the door for first day of drop off and we chatted the second day- every time I said something he seemed to be defensive and cut me off
and now I'm feeling uneasy about making mistakes. any suggestions on how to handle it ladies.
