32 months, nap and bedtime
« on: May 12, 2018, 07:28:37 am »
So we are having post 9pm bedtimes lately and a terrible amount of bedtime requests. We went as far down as a 45 min nap. So 2 days ago I took the plunge and cut it out. He slept 7.30 to 7. 30 that night with reduced between requests. The next day I didn't put him down for nap again but he dropped off in the buggy on school run for around 20/30 mins. He took longer to go to sleep that night, 7.45, and then woke at 6.20. A pretty short night for such a short nap. Should I stick with no nap and try to find a way to keep him awake on the school run? Or let him buggy nap and hope nights extend? Or something else else?!

We ended up ditching the nap cos no nap and we got the same as you. I think it takes them a while to adjust to this nap drop. It’s draining and we have lots of grumps 😳🤦‍♀️

No probs. I’ve had lots of good advice on there. Some nights we are only getting 11 hours so that’s the total for 24 hrs. I get a bit worried that she’s not getting enough but when I’ve allowed even a 30 min nap the night gets shorter still with a mega late settle to sleep 🤦‍♀️
