Hi haribo I really don't think she would cope cold turkey. We did 3 nnd in a row and she was crying her eyes out asking to go to bef without dinner at 5:30 by the 3rd night. Usually we do 6:30

Clazzat : do you mean try that for our catch up maybe 1 day every weekend or both days?

Today we are out so maybe she'll fall asleep in the car on the way over at 11ish then on the way back at 4. It's an hour each way x

I think you might need an earlier BT, we did a few 5.45 BT when DS first nap dropped.

I think that if you are going down the no nap route then bt needs to be 5.30 - that's what we did for many months after the nap was dropped.

If you are going to try what I suggested, I think that my idea was that you would be aiming for a normal length nap and therefore you would try an early nap on any day that she was napping and see how that goes.

Well yesterday was day 2 of no nap. We got home after work at 5:10 and I managed to get them fed and dd1 in bed for 5:45 and dd2 in bed for 5:55. The little one is always fine and will sleep forever if u let het but result for Eva she woke at 5:47 so almost 12 hours. I think the earlier bt makes a difference. I'm don't work today so I'm going to try an early nap so I can get bt a bit nearer 7:30 again fingers crossed she'll nap early I think if I do lunch early ill just confuse her into going to sleep as she always naps after lunch. So aiming or 12 today x

Well they did both enjoy early lunch.  However dd1 refused to nap before dd2. So I had to get her down first which was a bit earlier than usual then dd1 was 12:30 so later than planned but still 1hr earlier than normal.  Just dreading dd2 having a rubbish nap cos I've put her down first.

That sounds great - hopefully she will have a few good days/nights so that she can catch up and you can carry on on a more even keel.

Sorry I know I've been away a while. Been manic with illness, fractured ankles and everything else.

We are in a bit if a pickle now Eva has decided she doesn't want to nap ever now. So we are now on day 8 of no nap. We were doing ok with a couple of catch up naps but now they are being refused wu is getting earlier again.  I was sticking to a 12 hr day which was giving us a 6-6 or close enough routine. Now we have a 5:05 wake up and a clearly tired girl but she still won't nap
 Even when I offer quiet time she doesn't nod just fights it so am I just stuck with it or is there any suggestions to help. What would you do with bedtime tonight x

I'd go with a very early bedtime - 5.30, as Zoe says, if she'll do it.

She kept saying she wanted to go to nursery this afternoon so we took a nice long drive on the way and not a wink of sleep. Got to nursery she ran in all happy then had a meltdown. The teacher picked her up and took her in to see the new fairy garden and she calmed down so no nap today. I work wed, thu so there will get no nap the next 2 days either taking us to 11 days.

Would I me mad to try earlier than 5:30 would that just lead to another early morning?

Definitely no nursery on Fri I'm telling her it's closed on holiday then we'll try again then.
It's so hard seeing how tired she is and knowing a wee nap would make all tge difference, but she just won't take it.

Car naps in general will get difficult cos dd2 never naps in the car so we need to be home for her naps .
