My baby will be starting nursery 2 days a week when she is around 8 months (she's currently 5 months). I'm getting stressed out about how she'll cope. She's currently EBF on demand and we don't have much of a routine except that she naps for 45mins-1.5hrs after being awake for around 2.5 hours - so 3 naps a day. She's usually fed when she wakes up but also sometimes before the naps. She sleeps in her buggy during the day even if we're indoors. She'll also sleep in a sling/carrier but never in her cot during the day. At night I feed her to sleep, during the day I occasionally do but more often rock in the buggy or walk with her in a sling.
Her night time sleep has improved (despite me doing all these 'bad' things) and I don't want to do any kind of sleep training yet. So my question is should I be trying to establish more a routine to prepare her for nursery? We're trying to get her to take bottles of course. Some people say their baby behaves completely differently at nursery so not to worry but I am worried.
And please don't tell me to get a childminder or nanny- I would prefer either of these but neither are currently possible.
thanks!
