nap refusal and early rising in hsn 2y 2m
« on: February 24, 2015, 17:10:30 pm »
Hi my dd is 2 years 2 months old. Until recently her routine was
 wu 8ish
Nap 1-3
Bt 8.30
She has refused her nap every now and again in the past and we just do ebt and everything goes back to normal again. But the past 2 weeks she has started to consistently refuse her nap. She can climb out of her cot so she just gets up after a couple of minutes. I put her back in and she pops back up. I repeat for a while but I can't force her. So she's whingey from 3pm from tiredness. After a few days she's exhausted but still refuses to nap. I can get her to fall asleep in car or buggy and transfer her though. If I do she'll sleep for 3/4 hours. I know I shouldn't let her sleep so long but I find it hard to wake her plus I have a 10wk old too so I need the break!
Anyway what's more of a problem is her early rising. It went from 8 to 7 and now 6. I don't know why. It happens on a nnd and on a nap day. Her routine now on a nnd is
Wu 6ish
Bt 7pm
Or on a nap day
Wu 6ish
Nap 1-3/4
Bt 8.30
Maybe she's in a ot/ut cycle but I don't really know what to do. She's always had hsn so even though some drop nap at this age she still needs hers. She's fine on 1 day but not consistently like she's doing

Hello Hun,

Nap refusal is obviously one of the signs of dropping the nap but just because she is doing this it doesn't mean she doesn't need it any more necessarily, as you rightly said. It can be a long drawn out transition (sorry  :-X) Please have a good read through this link to info on the 1-0. I will come back to you when you have, as there is a lot to consider and it might be that you can decide the best way forward once you have read it thoroughly.

Let me know your thoughts. Lots of ((HUGS)) how exhausting with a 10 week old too, bless you! Bad timing :( x.
