Anyone elses 2yr old fighting their nap?

My LG wakes up at 8am and usually naps 1-2 then bed at 8pm and shes usually asleep by 8:30 and then sleeps through the night.
The last 2 weeks of so she keeps not napping, i lay her down and she just plays and babbles etc so i put her down at 7pm instead and she sleeps through until 8 as usual.
Does this just mean shes getting ready to drop her nap? Should i drop it altogether or still try each day? Id say 3 days a week now she doesnt nap just plays 🤣

If she's coping well without the nap maybe she's ready to drop it? My little boy is a complete grump if he doesn't nap! It's also the only time I can get things done 😂

My girl stopped napping at 18 months 🥴 but she sleeps 7pm-7am x

Maybe you can cut down the nap instead of stopping it as an easier more gradual transition?

i feel this 🤣 i have a 13 week old aswell and and nap time is my only time alone if i can get them both asleep at the same time

yeah i could try. Some days shes just refusing to sleep at all. Today she was in her cot for 1.5 hours and didnt go to sleep at all so i got her out

If she's happy to sit in her cot for that long I would just keep trying. As even just being in a dark room will be a treat for her aswell and if sometimes she is napping might aswell keep trying for now

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

My little one is struggling with sleep

Hey! I'm in need of some advice please girls! My little boy is 20 months turns 21 months in 2 half weeks. He use to sleep through the night now he is waking up every single night in the early morning, I've had to transition him to a toodler bed as he kept climbing out his cot. Just need some advice on what I can do to help him get back in to a sleep pattern?

6 month old autistism

My 6 month old makes no eye contact with me and doesn’t respond when I call him. Can this just be a phase or personality trait as apposed to autism

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

New born

Finally had my baby girl via C-section on the 18th, everything has been so far. But I’ve noticed she’s very fussy and cries a lot. I’ve been trying to exclusively breastfeed. The lactation consultant at the hospital said I did look like I’m making enough milk for her. She was latching on good at the hospital and now here at home, she doesn’t seem to want to latch at all. She’s been crying a lot and very fussy. I’m just wondering is she’s colic or like maybe she just doesn’t want the breast anymore?

5.30am wakeups 😫😴

My 15 week old has started waking up about 5.30am and is really hard to settle back down - it’s like he thinks it’s time to wake up for the day. He used to go to bed at 9pm and was up at 8am but now he goes to bed between 7.30-8pm as he’s knackered by then but waking up at 5.30am😴. Any advice to get him to sleep a little longer in the morning?! Even an extra hour would be lovely 🤣
