My LB suddenly started refusing some afternoon naps and then staying up talking and singing in cot for about 2hours before falling asleep 😫 he did this last year too. I’m trying to make sure the windows of awake time are met but he’s also got a lot fussier with things and more frustrated with everything recently.
It’s really draining the life out of me 😩

Yes! Since Saturday bedtime is a fight for us, he use to be put down in bed at 6 and fall asleep himself by 6:30pm but now it’s taking up to 2 hours each night to settle him, I’m not sure what’s going on. The only thing I could think of is the change in weather and the light nights have affected him. He normally has 1 nap through the day, around 1-1&1/2 hours and that has become a struggle too now we mainly time going out in the car for his nap to have a little 30 minutes which is better than nothing for him

Yes!! I googled it and couldn’t find much but I’m pretty sure this is a sleep regression. I think wake windows have increased?
Taking agesssss to fall asleep at bedtime, like 9.30pm 😬

Omg yes! Just started 2 weeks ago. Always been a brilliant sleeper, even as a newborn. But now he is fighting his afternoon nap for about 2 hours. Then eventually drops off at like 4pm and wakes up close to bed time. So then he can't get back to sleep until about 10pm. When we've tried to go without the nap he is just awful and grumpy. I think it's going to be like this until he's ready to drop it completely.
