My partner and I are trying to figure out the logistics of me working 3 days in the office and him fulltime. He potentially could work 2 days from home, there's no way he could work and look after the 2 kids (will be 3 and 1 when I go back) and we'd prefer to wait until our youngest is over 2 before going into daycare. We're considering hiring a nanny for two half days. Has anyone had this arrangement and its worked (or not worked?) Pros and cons? Thanks!

Hi all,

I've gone through this sub and found fairly similar situations but thought I'd ask a fresh question.

My girl is 2.5 years old. For the last month her bed time has been pushing out to 9pm, she's taking an hour or more to go to sleep. Nap time is a little easier but she faffs about, sometimes I save the nap and rock her to sleep, otherwise we try our best to leave her to it.

Routine is awake 630/7 - nap 12to 130- bed at 8

She used to put herself to sleep, but now she screams and wants us to stay in the room - she did this for a couple months around 2, so we can sort that out, but the late bedtime is brutal.

We've tried capping her nap to an hour, which did bring her sleep time to about 815 (after having her in bed from 730), but after a couple days she had a split night. Which in previous instances these were caused by over tiredness when she was skipping naps. What do I do here? 9pm bedtime is awful and capping naps doesn't seem to work. Thoughts? And thanks!
