hi i just recently sent my 3+mo baby to the IFC and noticed from the teacher's log that she's not sleeping as much as when at home. usually at home she will sleep after feed until almost the next feed which is in about 2hours time...but in ifc i noticed she only slept like 30 to 45mins each time. teachers did tell me they are trying to wean her off pacifier (my lo needs pacifier to sooth to sleep, once asleep will spit out. other times dont need) while i think its a good thing to wean off, im concern about her sleep quality. or she needs time to adapt so she will sleep more next time? can anyone advice me? thanks!

Agree that the starting time at IFC is difficult as the child is adjusting to the noises in the centre while sleeping. Trs try to get the child to sleep together with the rest but after a while, once yr child adjusts to the place, she will sleep anywhere and everywhere in the centre. No worries and the good thing is if she doesn't have enough sleep, let her sleep early for the night. :)
