My son is 6-months-old. He has 3 regular sitters-two grandmas and his aunt. He had been napping fine until recently. He takes much shorter naps. Even when they watch him in our home, he doesn't sleep as long as when he is with mommy or daddy. This week with aunt, he only took two 20-minute naps on Wednesday. He was extremely sleepy the rest of the day and went to bed super early.
When I am home, he will take two 1 1/2 hour naps and a short evening nap. I even lay him down in our bed after he is sound asleep. He will sleep up to one-hour on his own. Sometimes, I also take a nap with him. Then, he will sleep longer as well.
Why can't he sleep with the sitter? Are there any tips I can give them? Are they missing the window of drowsiness? Please help. It is frustrating to come home to an exhausted baby who only wants to nurse and sleep. I miss my son! I work 40-44 hours per week, two nights 12-9, and three days 8:30-5:30.
