Routine around creche

    Im back in to work in 7 weeks :(:( and my daughter is starting creche then.

    We've only started her on solids about 3 weeks ago and Im trying to figure where to drop a feed while also bringing her bedtime forward etc.

    Im just wondering (and Im guessing we'll really figure it out when it happens) but what are others routines around the creche - for eg do you give a bottle before you leave or give breakfast also? What meal do they need when you get back etc. Hoping to have her there for 7.30 in the morning and pick her up at 5.

    Thanks :)

    I would just go with the flow.
    That is a really early start.
    I gave mine a bottle before creche and she got breakfast there,snack on the way home and maybe a bottle when she was very small and when she was bigger a liga and a drink.

    My guy is 9 months and has been in creche since 5.5 months. He has a bottle in the morning before we leave and then in creche his routine is:

    8.30 - wheetabix

    10.00 - bottle + nap

    12.30 - dinner

    2.30 bottle + nap

    4.30 - fruit

    He gets finger food in the evening at home while we are eating and then a bottle and bed by 8.

    In my creche they don't have set nap times for babies (toddlers sleep 12-2), they just put them down when they seem tired. My guy is stubborn and gives out if he's playing and they put him in the cot - the result is he falls asleep in the middle of the floor!

    Our fella gets a bottle before he goes (gives us time to get ready ;) ) and has his breakfast in creche. You should get a daily report from the creche, so you should get an idea of how they do things. I always used to time his naps around the times he has them in creche, and it works a treat.
