My son is 2.5yrs old and has pretty much dropped his nap now. He was ill last week, so naps came back for a few days, but for the last 4-5 days we've been back to NNDs.
He has been sleeping pretty well after the NNDs, either right through or 1 short NW that just needed a cuddle or a drink.
Last night though he woke up at 11pm saying he was hungry and thirsty (this has been common since his bug as he hasn't been eating so well) but I offered both and he didn't want anything and just got absolutely furious. It was like dealing with the exorcist & he was very upset.
He was screaming at me that he was hungry/thirsty then at me to go away and was throwing himself around the bed (I was very calmly telling him he couldn't get up & had to stay with me on the bed) then kept crawling into my lap sobbing until he finally calmed down. He took about a hour to fully calm down (and then he had a small drink & snack) and I think and he was back asleep in total about 1.5 hours after he woke.
This was way beyond any daytime tantrums he's had and was actually quite frightening at times, although I stayed calm to help him through whatever the big emotions were that were coming out. We have had one other episode like this, again after a NND so I'm suspecting it is OT related but just wondered if anyone had experienced something similar?
