Why Does My Baby Sleep Better at Daycare Than at Home?

By



You’re a new parent doing your best to take care of your baby, and that could mean keeping a job and sending your baby to daycare. It doesn’t mean you don’t worry about them. So, when you notice your little one sleeps better at daycare than at home, you could jump to conclusions. Is there something you should do differently at home?

There are many reasons your baby may nap better at daycare, and it doesn’t reflect on your parenting. So, here are some reasons for the differences in sleep habits.

They Want to Spend More Time with You

Some babies realize that their parents spend more time with them in the evenings and mornings, and tend to them at night. If your baby makes the connection, they might start waking up more at night to get comfort from their primary caregivers. It’s essentially an instinctual fear of missing out on time with their parent; Baby FOMO.

The Temperature at the Daycare is More Comfortable

Feel free to ask your daycare teachers what temperature the thermostat in the baby room reads at naptime to see if you could create a similar environment at home. You can use a baby wellness monitor with temperature tracking to determine the temperature of their nursery or sleep space and cross-reference it with the daycare. 

They Reversed Their Feeding Schedules

Babies usually develop a feeding schedule that aligns with their circadian rhythm. If you’re a breastfeeding parent having trouble with your baby taking bottles at daycare, you’ll notice they’re ready for more feedings at night. This means more wakeups at night and smoother sleep during the day.

They’re Just Doing What Babies Do

Some babies just sleep really well at daycare for no apparent reason, and there’s nothing a parent does wrong at home. You can keep an eye on your baby cam at home to see if the disparity in restfulness has to do with their position, sleepwear, or another factor, like a sleep regression. There are patterns and habits that will stand out to help you learn more about your little one’s sleep cycle.

How to Encourage Your Baby to Self-Soothe

When you hear “self-soothe,” what comes to mind? When a baby or toddler learns to self-soothe, it simply means they can fall back asleep by themselves. You can still comfort and tend to your baby while encouraging self-soothing skills. Before you can help your little one reach different levels of this developmental milestone, find out what you can do as a parent or caregiver. Smart Baby Monitor Reduce Stimulation Sound, light, and movement affect newborns, young babies, and toddlers. To encourage self-soothing habits, reduce stimulation around your baby during nighttime wakeups. You can invest in a baby monitor that has a dim nightlight. That way, even if you have to change a diaper or do a nighttime feeding, you don’t have to turn on a bright light that wakes them up. If all your baby’s needs are met, speak to the baby slowly and gently and keep your expression calm. If you need to hold them, pick them up slowly, hold them firmly, and try to help them settle down with...

New Parent Notice: Nightlights Are a Must

Stumbling around in the middle of the night is already a hazard, but when you’re a sleep-deprived new parent, it’s even more important to use a nightlight. You need to be able to care for your baby in the middle of the night and early mornings, which means bottles, breastfeeding, diaper changes, or anything else that comes up after the sun goes down.  However, you want to keep things dim to avoid interfering with your little one’s sleep. During the first few weeks of their life, they adjust to night and day and develop a circadian rhythm. As a parent, you can help them adapt and stay comfortable during wakeups with a dim nightlight attached to a smart baby monitor . The Perfect Dim Light You need just enough light for a quick diaper change and an unimpaired feeding session, so turning on the room light is probably too much. High-quality, smart monitors for infant sleep tracking have features to help you feel more assured in your role. You don’t have to purchase sepa...
