Hi,
I recently returned back to work and LO is with family. She was on 2 naps schedule and bedtime at 7:30/8 but past 2 days she is resisting all her naps. Today she woke up at 6 and didn’t nap till I returned back at 4:30. Took a short 30 mins nap and bedtime got pushed to 9 pm. Does anyone else face this.

My little girl is in this stage at the moment, my first also did the same around 13-15 months.
She literally is having 30 mins a morning and fighting the afternoon sleep.
It won’t be forever!
It’s also a very weird age from being ready to drop to one nap but not quite ready just yet.
Xxx

ah. Any idea long does it last ? I tried pushing her first nap later but that didn’t work as well :(

My LO refused her afternoon nap too often so we moved to 1 nap. In all honesty I don’t think she was quite ready. She is really tired by 11.30am when we aim to put her down but it’s less stress than trying to get her to nap again. She sleeps anywhere from 1h30-2h30 though

It sounds like she needs to transition to one nap. My little one was refusing to nap. I switched to 1 nap at 10 months and he now goes down easily for 2-3 hours and sleeps better at night

thanks for the inputs. What is the wake windows that you follow ?

My little one usually wakes around 7/7:30. I typically put him down at around 12(just after his lunch) and he wakes between 2-3 and then bedtime between 7 and 8. He’s at nursery 4 days a week and I follow their routine

I have the same problem but only at nursery so it’s probably because my lo just doesn’t feel secure there and misses me. He takes two naps as normal when at home. Im finding it very hard, he’s definitely not ready for just one nap and I don’t want to push him, so I’m anxiously waiting to see how he gets on in the nursery. Except he spends two days in and comes home sick for a week or more

I guess my LO is also missing me and refusing naps. I started work recently and on days I am home it’s relatively better

how long has it been since your return to work?
