Naps

Yes definitely, my lo is down to 1 nap a day and trying to get him to have that nap... Omg but if he doesn't have his nap. All hell breaks lose xx

have you tried not giving him a nap? Like does it make him sleep better?

I’m worried if I let her stay awake it’ll get worse

Its of this age, mine has 1 hr nap now, always driven to sleep in car 🙈

haha seems like I’m gonna have to do the same!

how do you get yours to sleep in the car without their head going all over the place?

My son barely naps anymore, I only put him down now when I can tell he needs it, if he gets grumpy anytime after 4pm he just has his dinner a bit early and has an early night

and how is his sleep at night? I’m just worried if I do that and I put mine to sleep she’ll be awake at night for a couple of hours

Most the time he will go down at 7pm and wake up around 7am, every now and then he does wake up in the night but we have the side off his cot and a couple of books he can look at and he puts himself back to bed when he’s ready and slept in until 8am

Yuuuuppp!!!!

We are on 1 nap now, but somedays, if I know it's going to be a fight or she just doesn't look tired. I don't bother and just start our evening routine earlier. Nowadays, I just pick my battles, easier than all of us getting frustrated at the situation.

ohh that’s good! With me I stress over her nap sooo much that I need her to take a nap because I wasn’t sure if she could do without but maybe she can I guess. At what age do they drop the nap?

Yeah, for a long time, I stressed over it too, but it wasn't doing any of us any good. This way works for us much better. From what I have read, they generally drop naps between 3 - 4 years old, but it can be as early as 2 years just depends on the child. There nothing set in stone to when really.

yeah that makes sense! When you put your little one to bed early the days naps are skipped does your little one sleep okay at night?

I find it's quicker to settle her to sleep after a day of no naps, and yeah, she does sleep okay.

how old is your little one

She's 22 months old. X

if he doesn't have his nap he is so angry all day but then get severely over tired. Up until last week he was sleeping 13hrs solid 7-8am every night. But coz naps have been disrupted it's been past 10 before he gone to sleep and he waking between 1-4 then goes back to sleep till my upstairs neighbour wakes him at 7.30ish
