I agree with what the other posters said. But I will also add, why not let him experience a whole day or two at daycare to see how he does? Perhaps the excitement, activity, and routine of daycare will make him tired enough to actually fall asleep on his own. As parents, we always want to shelter our kids from experiencing discomfort. But discomfort, new routines and challenges, and new environments are a part of life. We have to let them experience it for them to grow. He will be fine for a day. If it goes totally awful, it was only one day, and then you will know you have some work to do at home to teach him how to be ok without you from time to time.
