Sleep
My baby girl is 2 years and 4 months old. Recently, she stopped wanting to nap, and I was putting her to bed an hour and a half early instead. Well, now she wants to nap again but does not want to go to bed, not even at her original time. I don't know if I should just cut out the naps for good or what to do to fix the problem! People tell me it's too early to cut out the naps, but when she wasn't napping it seemed to be working! I'll take any advice I can get thank yall

It’s not too early some kids just grow out of naps sooner than others. If it worked for you and your babe stick to it! My daughter hasn’t napped in over a month cause she just stopped showing signs of being tired and we went through a similar thing with refusing bed time if she did nap. She’d go to bed at midnight if she took a nap but without one she’s asleep by 9 so I’m right there with you!

We just dealt with this too! My daughter is in a toddler bed and already after settling down and reading a book, we leave her in her room to go to bed independently. I’ve turned nap time in to “rest/quiet time” we have a hatch sound machine so her sound machine turns in and is orange at night and during rest time, but then when it’s okay to get up, the sound machine color changes to blue (they make other “okay to wake” clocks too) so if she’s sleeping she just wakes up and sees the blue so it’s “wake up time” but during the day she just knows she needs to stay in her room and we’ve put a few books, a puzzle, and some stuffed animals, and she can play quietly as some down time. Some days she tries every 10 minutes to open her door and o remind her the light is still orange it’s rest time but as soon as it turns blue she can come out. Some days she naps, some days she doesn’t. She went a week with no naps, and then the next week napped 5/7 days. I adjust bedtime by 30mins depending.
