My son is 12 months old and he absolutely refuses to sleep in his crib. He has slept in bed with me for 6 months. He will sleep in his pack and play for naps or at bedtime, but will NOT sleep in his crib.
I let him fall asleep and I carry him to his bed and within 20 minutes he's up and screaming, throwing up, etc.
Will a daycare take him?

You will have to ask that of the day care facility you would like for him to attend. Chances are they would at least try to see if he would sleep in the day care crib, and chances are he would do it for them, he knows you give in to him so why should he sleep in the crib for you. Anyway, they probably would have a trial period to make sure it wasn't an issue. I have a day care in my home and the first 2 weeks of watching a new child is trial, parents can pull their child from my care if they are not happy, and I can refuse future care if I am not happy. I would not watch a child if they didn't sleep, and I did have to ask one family I worked with to find other child care because their child was not sleeping and was screaming for 6-8 hours a day. Not only is it unhealthy for them not to sleep, but nap time is the only time during my 10 hour day when I get to relax and have a break. Check with the day care and see what their policy is.

I don't know about daycare--I don't know why they wouldn't take him, really. They can put him in a crib and let him play there, if they insist on reserving naptime. The fact that he won't sleep or take a nap that way should be of no consequence to them, in my opinion.
The throwing-up thing isn't good. I'd check out Good Nights by Maria Goodavage and Jay Gordon. It's a bit simplistic, but it addresses some of the misconceptions about cosleeping and crib sleeping.

when you're concerned, you should attempt yet another daycare. At my daughter's daycare, the nap room become darkened and did have a white noise gadget. It become also separated from the play section. It become only a pitcher partition - so the instructor ought to work out the little ones nonetheless. although, i'm advantageous that if youthful ones were truly loud interior the play section, the youngsters interior the nap section would listen it. i'm advantageous that component of the reason that maximum daycares are setup as you defined is because instructors want to attend to to keep a watch on the dozing/wide awake youthful ones. they could't purely placed a touch one to sleep in a dismal/quiet/separated room and then bypass guard the wide awake youthful ones. And the daycare ought to no longer employ a separate instructor to keep a watch on a dozing infant.

Daycare admission should not be a problem. The staff there will try to train him to sleep in his crib there, probably when he sees all the other kids doing it, he will accept it. If after threeish weeks, he is still having problems and being disruptive to the other kids, the daycare may expel him, but I've never heard of that happening... kids are adaptable.

Sure, at 12 months most daycares do not even use cribs. They all sleep on little mats on the floor. This should be no problem at all.

I never slept in a crib...my Mum had a similar problem with me...I think it was the idea of being behind bars that got me, lol...anyway, no daycare is going to force a child into a crib...at least no daycare you want your child in...so don't worry about it...

I live in Western PA. I have my baby starting in a daycare in a few weeks. She will go into the baby room for the first few months.
The criteria to get into the 1 year old classroom are:
off the bottle
one nap per day
at least 1 year old.
the babies take naps in cribs (each baby has their own crib, and they only take a few babies)
The one year olds and 2 year olds take naps on toddler mats.
It really depends on the day care...........

Contact the daycare you are interested in and ask. Honestly, that's not a smart-alecky answer. My daughter slept with us from about the age of 9 mos to about 2 1/2 years. She started at daycare at about 12 mos. It was right around that time that they transitioned from crib to cot....so you should ask the daycare if it would be possible for him to sleep on a cot...or at what age he would be considered a toddler (who, at my daycare, slept on cots anyway).

My daughter was like that too. If your child will sleep in the pack and play I had my sister and a babysitter have no problem at all with this arrangement. i had two pack in plays but well worth it for everyone involved. Most home daycares are more accepting of these types of situation .

I do know in the state of Ohio, he must sleep in a crib. Every center is licensed by the state and that is one of the state rules. The center can be cited for it if he is not in a crib. Call some centers around that you are interested in and ask them.
