Pram napper starting crèche in 10 days. have I ruined her?? 😭
My baby sleeps absolutely brilliantly at night in her own cot… we’ve never had an issue. Like she wakes up once or not at all, we are lucky. During the day however, she has genuinely never encountered a bed in a professional capacity. Pram only. Preferably outside, moving, ideally with a slight breeze and the ambient sounds of Dublin city life.
If I don’t want to clock 15km a day, we compromise on the apartment balcony. She’ll sleep out there in the pram like a little feral angel while I stand inside staring at her through the glass like a hostage.
Crèche starts in 10 days. Today I attempted - for the first time, I’ll admit- to get her to nap in her cot during the day. She treated this as a personal insult. Rolling, pulling herself up, laughing first and then a bit of indignation. I gave up after 20 minutes of increasingly desperate shushing.
So my question is: have I completely ruined her? Or is this a common pram napper situation?
Would love to hear from anyone who’s been through this. Did crèche fix it? Did they just… figure it out?
(She’s fine btw. I know she’s fine. I just need someone to tell me she’s fine.)
