My almost 3 year old is starting to refuse her naps now 😠When she does nap for 1-2hrs, she has a really hard time staying in her bed at night. I have to stay in there with her for 30min until she falls asleep. She was sleep trained and would fall asleep on her own instantly but now not so much.
Yesterday she didn’t take a nap and she was really tired and cranky around 5pm but managed to stay until 8pm bedtime and she actually stayed in bed and fell asleep with no issues. Selfishly, I was really trying to hold on to that afternoon nap for a bit longer since I’m a SAHM, and also have a 1 year old, so nap time is the only break I get 🥲 But I do feel like she still needs a little nap since she was so tired and cranky without it.. and I hear most toddlers still need a nap until the age of 4. So not really sure if to keep encouraging her to nap, maybe just an hour? Or do I just drop it completely?
She does sleep through the night (8pm-6am)
