Do we need a change?

[babyrose]

Hi everyone it feels like ive not been on here for ages. L&L are now 2.5 and been on the same routine for well over a year now. Sleeping in general is great but there are the odd nights where they both dont settle or one does and the other doesnt.

So the routine we have at the moment is
7:00 wu
13:00 sleep (2hrs)
20:00 bed

As i said sometimes i have to settle them other night i can just walk out, i know if they dont get a decent nap then nights can be pretty awful and these guys are pretty high sleep needs so am i just jumping the gun here thinking a change is needed?

Thanks nicola xx

Hello there - if things are OK then no need to change them! You can be looking out for resisting naps and BTs, EWs and NWs that would indicate you would need to start cutting the nap but things are looking good! Keep that precious nap time as long as possible!

Thanks replying.

 I'm hoping to keep a hold of these naps for as long as I can! We are getting some refusal nap and bedtime nw's and not very often ew but it's not like it goes on for ages e.g. An hr or all night nothing like that but as soon I leave one or both are so upset.

Just keep an eye on the shenanigans. When they become more frequent or prolonged then you know it is time to cut the nap back a bit x

If i do the cut the nap do you think

7 wu
13:15 nap
20:00 bed

Will a 15 minute change do?  In a overall general sleep they are really good but im going to write things down from now on so i know for definite.

15 mins is a good starting point - you can always tweak from there x
