Nearly 11 month old, suddenly not interested in morning nap
« on: May 17, 2015, 10:01:01 am »
My DD has always been great at naps.  She has mostly been put back in her cot for them and has been having one around 10am in the morning.  The last 3 days I've taken the cues that she's ready for her nap and put her in her cot but on Friday (this was actually at nursery) she only had 15mins, yesterday at home my husband thinks she only had about 25mins and this morning she just isn't going to sleep, she's been in there nearly an hour.  She is very content although she is doing this strange thing where she lifts her legs and clasps her hands and squeezes them together like she is doing core exercises?!  She started this about 2 weeks ago whenever I lay her down.  Not sure what she is doing?!  Anyone experienced this?

I just wonder if she is starting to transition from 2 naps to 1, although I worry its too early for you?  What does everyone think?

Not at all too early for the transition to start. We started at 7 months :P Have you read through this link? From 2 to 1 nap transition (10-12m and older)
Am nap refusal is a common scenario. Most let that nap stay at a UT CN and aim for a nice long pm nap. Or you could push A times until that nap lengthens out again. Have a read and let me know if you need more help :)

Thanks newkidontheblock :-)  If I can get her to CN in the morning a nice long pm nap sounds great.  Will see how she goes this week.  She's at nursery today, so I'm intrigued to hear if she took a morning nap.

Sorry newkidontheblock, I haven't been on here for a couple of weeks so hadn't seen your reply!  Can I post in the birth club about my napping issues?  Is that ok?    Today I don't know whats going on with my DD.  We had to go out this morning to get some jobs done and although she looked tired around 10.30/11, she wouldn't nap in her pram.  She rarely does, tbh.  To many interesting things for her to look at!  Anyway by the time we were home it was lunch time, so once she had had that I put her down which was about 12.15pm.  She had been awake since 7.15am.  Well it is now 1.36pm, just to be exact as I'm looking at the computer time, and she has not napped at all.  She has been messing about in her cot.. happily.  But now she's getting pretty grumpy, unsurprisingly.  Not sure what's going on with her?!  She must be shattered by now!

Sounds like she got her second wind. How did the day do after that?

Sorry for the late reply!  I took her for a walk and she eventually fell asleep at 3.45pm for 30 mins.  Couldn't believe she went that long without a nap.
