I got this DM from a mom. Let's leave her a voice message and give her some tips to help. Hi Sarah, this is Kara. I know starting daycare can be a big transition, but let me give you some tips to help. When you have to wake him early, number one, the night before, aim for an early bedtime as early as 6:37 o'. Clock. For a six month old, this means the last nap of the day will need to end by oh, 4 or 4:30pm Then that morning when when you have to get out the door early, get yourself and everything else ready before you wake him. When it's time to wake him up, turn the light on in the hall. Open the door, turn off the sound machine. Rub his back gently. You just want him to have an easy wake up. Don't be rushed with him. Have some snuggle time, do the feeding. Give yourself plenty of time to really enjoy the morning with him. Know that it will probably take a week or two for both of you to adjust to this new wake time, but chances are he's going to do great. They often blow us away with how great they do during transitions. I hope this is helpful. I'm sending you love and wishing you all the best. Okay, so that was how I responded. What would you add to that DM for her? Any advice.
