Anyone else notice a huge difference in how kids sleep for you compared to others?
Both my kids go to daycare. When they're with me, they breastfeed to sleep (or DD did when she was younger). DS is breastfed to sleep every time, and DD no longer naps but when she did, and wasn't breastfeeding anymore, the only thing that worked was a walk in the pram and I couldn't move her. At daycare it's a totally different story though!
For day naps, in the toddler rooms they get out little camp type beds, and they're all lined up. Kids lie down and go to sleep. Apparently DD was the easiest, she'd just lie down and sleep. When they first told me I nearly passed out from shock, but they said she'd always done that in the toddler room. And now DS. DH asked how they get him to sleep, because when DD was a baby they had to rock her or put her in a bouncer, she never slept in a cot. But DS, they just put him in a cot, awake, and he goes to sleep!
He just goes. to. sleep. WTF? Why not for me? Well I know why, security etc, he knows they can't breastfeed him and I can. But still! Would be lovely to put him down and not have him immediately cry and start grabbing the air for me lol.
