The key is also consistency .....if the same thing is not being done on weekends then it takes a lot longer cause the child is confused ..... The child is thinking Sometimes she comes sometimes she doesn't so ill just keep crying cause maybe she will ..... Is the child on one nap or two .... Maybe if still on a morning nap it needs to be earlier and shorter like maybe at 8am for only 30mins so that there is enough time in between naps .... Plus is the child crawling or walking around or just sitting there or carried ..... They need to move around and be outside too .... Fresh air makes for a sleepy baby ..... I have two infants in my program one walks one doesn't but we go outside everyday even if its for only 20 mins and they both are in bed from 12:15 till 3:15 at least. I'm not an APer and so I'm sure others that are will disagree with me but I don't think you can wear a baby all day and respond to their every need and look after several daycare children too because they all will want to be picked up and you only hands two hands.
