I have just moved my 19 month old to a big bed and it has been sucessful at night as its dark so he doesn't get out of bed and also cant open doors yet. However I tried to put him down for his nap after lunch and he keeps getting up. So he naps in his cot still. Can anyone offer any suggestions. I have read about reading books and giving him a wind down period. But my concern is that if I start this I will always need to do this and I feel he should learn to settle himself. My older son was always an angel baby and toddler and went for naps and night sleep no problem. So it's like being a new mum all over again with 2nd lo.
Any advise would be great.
