27mo dropping nap?
« on: February 08, 2015, 14:28:12 pm »
Hi,
My lg sleeps 7-7 (we wake her) and if she naps (normally 12-12.30ish) she'll sleep until we wake her at 3. She has started to really really fight the nap. I've been reading all the faq but still unsure. If she misses a nap she ins a nightmare but how can we get her to nap? Push it later?
We have a 12 week old too and trying to get his nap at the same time.
Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks

I would try the nap a bit later and perhaps cap it a bit. I totally understand wanting to get the naps to coincide but I would try to work the baby around the toddler, not vice versa. My oldest two were a similar age apart and the few times I managed that were lovely! Maybe try the nap at 1:00 for a few days and see? Nights going okay?

Hiya thanks for reply. yes nights have fine with or without nap (7-7)
We always capped nap at 3. IF we try later nap (say 1pm) when should we cap it?
Ha we were trying to fit baby into toddler routine but now toddler changed! They keep us on our toes 😄

Lol they always do that. I think if bedtime is 7 I would stick to 3:00 for a cap for now and see how that goes.
