No naps?

[allydncr]

DD has been giving us a really hard time napping at home. She still naps at daycare - or at least, they say she does, not sure if she is actually sleeping then - but at home on the weekends, not so much. We have to fight her to go down, and when she does, it's not long. She used to do 45 min at home with us (which was short enough!) and now it's maybe 20. She does ok without a nap - she's not overly cranky or anything. Is anyone else on the no nap train already?

I swear, my kid just hates sleep!

M still naps but I know a few people who have toddlers that started not napping around 2. She may just be ready to be done napping earlier than most.

I'm lucky that E naps but I have heard some kids drop their nap early. Does she sleep long at night? Maybe you can put her down earlier and try to make up for it. If she's not struggling or cranky without a nap I wouldn't worry. But of course that sucks you won't get that nap time break. I would go crazy!!

YES! This is us...I actually joked with his teacher saying "are you lying about his naps!?" (They claim they are not!) But DS rarely naps longer than 45 minutes anymore. He does sleep a solid 12 hrs, so I'm guessing he's just moving out of that phase. Boooooooo...

Yeah, she doesn't sleep long at night either... Bed at 7:30, then lately in our bed at 5am and usually goes back to sleep for another hour or so. So maybe 11 hours a night? I think daycare tires her out more than we do, lol. She has always been a terrible sleeper though.

We are still good with naps. My middle one dropped hers early probably about this age. It was horrible. We just has to try and adjust her bedtime sleeping to add extra sleep time overnight.

Oh no! I am so sorry for your loss (of naps)! I'm dreading the day it happens here.

I was planning on posting about this actually. A still naps at daycare for 2 ish hours and sleeps 10-11 hours at night. But on Saturday, we put her in her crib as usual, and she screamed for 45 minutes and threw everything out of her crib. I went up and rocked her in her glider, and she was out within 10 minutes, and stayed asleep for almost 2 hours. If I tried to move her to the crib, she woke up and cried. On Sunday, she did the same thing, but I couldn't rock with her, so there was no nap.

I'm hoping its a phase. She is in a big mama phase now, so I'm wondering if she doesn't like to be alone? Last night she wouldn't eat dinner in her high chair (hysterical screaming)--only on my lap. Tonight when I put her down, she started screaming again. I had to Ferberize her again... but she went down after 20 minutes or so.

I'm sorry you are going through that, I am not looking forward to when dd's nap end.

I'm sorry that your DD dropped her nap. Hopefully, it's just a temporary thing.
