THE WORST 😩
When your toddler is in the middle of dropping the last nap, bedtime can get rough for a while.
🦋 Here is what you need to know about the 1-0 nap transition:
➡️ Average age: 3 years
➡️ Transition time: 2-6 months
🦋Signs it's time to drop the nap:
➡️ The nap begins between 1:30-2pm
➡️ Your toddler is finding it hard to fall asleep for bedtime if they nap
➡️ Bedtime is being pushed later and later
🦋 Tips for transition:
➡️ On days when your toddler doesn't nap, make sure to pull bedtime earlier (up to an hour)
➡️ Your toddler will often nap approximately every 3 days when starting to drop the nap. Let the nap happen when it happens.
➡️ Make sure to cap the nap when it happens so that there is a full wake window before bedtime (this ensures that your toddler will be tired enough for bed).
