2.5 year old not napping

Is anyone else’s 2 year old not napping ? She is up at 9am and is supposed to nap at 2, but doesn’t and goes to bed at 9. Our day is full of activity so I’m not sure what’s going on

My daughter was born July 2022 and she stopped napping at Christmas.

My October baby stopped napping right before she turned 2. My older daughter who is almost 4 stopped at 2.5. So, she may be ready to drop the nap and adjust her bedtime.

Common to have a 2.5 year old nap strike. Keep offering the same nap everyday even if it ends up just being quiet time! Look at schedule too.. maybe needs to be woken up earlier and go to bed earlier.

My son stopped napping about that age maybe before actually

My daughter born in June stopped napping at Christmas, I’ve tried to get her to nap and she just won’t have any of it anymore. She goes to bed at 6 and wakes up at half 7.

Does she not go to bed earlier if she doesn't nap?

Avatar

yes by an hour! If she does nap she will be in bed by 10 but maybe not officially be in a deep sleep by closer to 11. Without a nap maybe 9:30 she will be out

Right there with ya…. I’m exhausted

Mine skips a couple naps a week. I just have to make sure he has a full belly after lunch and I take him outside to play if it’s sunny. Then I tell him it’s quiet time. I turn on flowing water nature videos that show waterfalls and creeks flowing with the sound off and I turn on the fan and hold him and he’s out in a few minutes. But there are days where we don’t get to do this routine and he skips his nap 🥴

Mine stopped napping ages 2 so she probably doesn't need a nap anymore

Yes! My dude has been WILD these last few weeks and he is also trying to not nap! 😩 he wakes around 7, and will stay up until 8:30!

My daughter is about the same. She skips her nap every few days maybe about 1-2 times a week lately, despite activities and being outside. Lately she naps best in her stroller while we’re out walking around the city 🤷🏻‍♀️ when she doesn’t nap she’s in bed by 8/9 and awake by 7/8 when she naps she’s asleep by 10/10:30 and wakes up around 8:30/9

When did you circumcise your baby?
If you DID NOT or DO NOT have a circumcised son DO NOT comment this post is not for you!

Did you wait a certain amount of time or have it done immediately?
Again respectfully, this is only for the parents who choose to do so.
opinions about how not necessary it is will not be appropriate for this post. Thank you in advance. 🩵

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Night time routine

Heya, my 3 week old daughter is currently exclusively breastfed and I’m not pumping. Can anyone recommend the best way to share the load with my partner? At the moment I’m doing all the feeds/burbs/settling and my partner is sleeping through which obviously isn’t sustainable, I’m trying to work out the best way to get him involved. Any advice very much appreciated!

Can someone speak on drug screening and c section?

I smoked all through my first pregnancy and tested positive didn’t have any issues a social worker came in and spoke to me and hubby and that was it but this time I’m having an elective c section and wondering did they drug test you there?
