Are we in a regression!?
So the last three days my little one hasn’t had his nap! Usually would wake 6.30am and then nap at around 12 for an hour and a half to two hours and then go bed at 7.30/8pm no problem. But now he won’t nap, I put him down and he’ll just flop about for an hour, or I’ll try walking him in the pushchair and he’ll just cry until we get home. Even taking him for a drive he now won’t fall asleep and is wide eyed staring out the window. Even when it comes to putting him to bed he doesn’t snuggle down and takes about 40 minutes which I don’t understand, he must be exhausted having been up for 12+ hours. I’m not ready for him to drop his only nap, and I don’t think he’s actually ready either, I’m wondering if anyone else has gone through or going through the same thing and looking for some reassurance!

@Georgina week 2! Oh my goodness I feel for you, but it does feel good that I’m not on my own 🙈 I’m trying not to stress myself out with the nap and if he doesn’t go down then I’m trying to have quiet time for bit… though I would really love him to sleep as I’m pregnant I got used to the midday nap for the both of us 😂 hopefully this will pass soon for the both of us 🤞🏻 x
We dropped all naps back in March. I miss working the split shift 😅. No advice, but the one piece of advice that's stuck with me is 'everything's a phase'. Hope it gets better for you soon!!x
Oh my we are on the 3rd day of nap strike an I'm so tired of it!! But today at bedtime he jus conked out, I'm praying this ends quickly for all of us 🥴

Yes my little one is on a nap strike we are in week 2 of this now - yet he has his nap at nursery for 2 days! Same as evening with yourself normally goes down at 7pm and falls asleep until 6.30-7am….now winges for a good half hour before falling asleep. Regression from 18 months to 2 years can kick off at any time as they develop so many new skills …hoping he’ll settle back down soon as he’s no way ready to drop a nap either. It’s exciting seeing all the new changes but nap refusal throws everything out in your day! Hang in there I’m sure they’ll both settle down again I’m just keeping to our little ones routine and hoping he’ll get back in the swing of things soon ! X
