After observing my 2.5 year old pushing her BT back gradually, I was so sure that she was telling me something... That she needed less sleep. We capped her nap at 1.5h and asked the daycare to do the same.
It seemed like it was helping, she was going to bed closer to her previous BT.
Now, I don't know what I think. She still naps 1:15-1:30h at home, although I think only 1:00-1:15h at daycare (but they have not been giving me much info recently)
She fights her BT pretty hard using all sorts of stall tactics, but she seems so tired! Hyperactive behavior when we are getting ready for bed, she seems so sleepy when I read her BT story... But then rallies hard! After fighting for 30+ mins she will also start biting her hand or blanket.
She is averaging 11-11.5h of total sleep recently. I have not noticed any unusual daytime behavior (beyond normal toddler stuff), but she really seems OT at night.
We have been putting her down earlier, but she just fights for a longer time.
Is this a phase? Or should I be making a significant change?
