Does anyone else’s little one still nap? Mine still has an hour at about 12.45 people keep telling me he should be dropping it now?? I have to wake him after an hour I’m sure he would go for much longer!

My daughter has a nap in the afternoon for about 2 to 3h and I just let her sleep, she comes back tired from nursery.
She still does her full night 🤷♀️
Surely a little nap can’t hurt , in France and Portugal they do an afternoon nap at preschool so, dunno

Still having 90 mins 12.30-2 over here, she still needs it! Will maybe start to try to phase out from September as that’s a year until school

We have a quiet hour but she still needs to nap every now and then.

If she’s sleeping happily at night at a time reasonable to you then keep it going!
My son doesn’t nap unless he’s had a very poor night’s sleep. He’s low sleep needs so averages 10.5hours at night and that’s it! Sometimes 10 and recently even less 😬

We dropped my sons nap when he was just over 2 years and he done it but was very moody and would normally refuse dinner as he was so tired. As soon as he went back to his 30 mins he was perfectly fine and we still do it. Sometimes even longer if we're at home doing nothing.

Mine doesn’t nap all the time but when he does he had 2 hours still!x

Mine has them on and off but it became a battle a few months ago so we stopped trying to enforce it because it was getting stressful for both of us. Now some days he naps and others he doesn’t but we just go with the flow. A nap isn’t going to hurt him unless it’s really affecting getting to sleep at night time. If it’s not enjoy nap time while you still have it and don’t listen to anyone telling you to drop it! Sleep is good! 👍🏻

My son still does 2 hours and sleeps through the night

My first born took naps till about 3.5 yrs old. My 2.5 yr old doesn’t take naps anymore. It’s good your child is still napping, it’s preferred and actually good for their brain.

My almost 3 year old still naps for 1.45hr at nursery every week day and about 2hrs or more at home on weekends. I just let him sleep cause as others have said - it’s good for their brain and nervous system

I don't see anything wrong with kids still napping past 3. They obviously need it, and it's good for their development 😄 my October 22 son still naps 2-3hrs and sleeps well at night too! I never wake him up early

Mine naps everyday for about an hour and sleeps 8pm-7am
He physically can’t without it otherwise he falls asleep like 4pm which is much worse

I’m dreading dropping the nap. 😂 I’d say as long as they’ve dropped the nap by school it’s fine.
