Help Naps are getting shorter and taking longer to fall asleep at night!

Thanks so much for that I just wasn't sure if I'm putting him to bed to early if he needs 20+ mins to fall asleep lol. He does love his alone time in his crib

I would capitalize on that now...will come in handy when he is nap dropping but you still want quiet time (whether in a crib or bed). DD2 did quiet time until she was 5.5!

It really is just wind down. Both of my children have done it. My 6 year old doesn't do it anymore - I can't remember when he stopped. But my 4 year old daughter does it from time to time now. She sings and chats to her rabbit  , and it can sometimes be up to an hour before she falls asleep!! Not normally, but sometimes. And it really does have nothing to do with UT/OT, she is just relaxing and unwinding, it's probably got more to do with how much stimulation she has had during the day (she's at school now and has plenty to think about at bedtime  ).
