Those that don't nap anymore...
« on: May 25, 2007, 12:00:54 pm »
Just out of curiousity, what time is bedtime?  And what time do they wake in the morning???  How old are they now?  And how old were they when they dropped the nap?  Did *they* drop it or did you drop it because bedtime was getting too late?  Also, do you offer a nap here and there?

Thanks :)

Hi!!

Liana is 3 years 4 months.  She stopped napping herself about 2 months ago I guess.  I used to offer a nap every day but now we just have bedroom time ::)so i get a break!!  If I know she is really tired I will take her for a drive because she will not allow herself to sleep in her room she jsut keeps playing but in the car she is guaranteed to fall asleep in a couple of minutes if tired!!!

Bedtime is still 7pm and she gets up anywhere between 6am and 7:30am with the occassional 5:30am to keep me on my toes >:(

Ewan dropped his nap at 2 years 9 months when B came but he probably could have dropped it earlier cause he was taking for ever to go to sleep at night and waking early, not to mention that he sometimes took forever to go to sleep at a nap and then was grumpy when we woke him at 3 ::).  His bedtime was and still is 8pm and he used to sleep until 8:30 (still does some days).

Khy dropped his nap on his own at about 3yo however he will still nap at daycare on a non-nap day he will crash at 6pm and sleep till around 6.30-7am but if daycare doesn't wake him after 1 hour (like yesterday) he will still be partying at 10pm (last night he didn't fall asleep till 11pm  :o )

We are like Janelle and if things are really bad then we will go for a drive - works like a charm  ;)

Dd1 dropped her nap altogether at around 3yrs.  She dropped it herself.  Bedtime was moved from 7pm to 6.30pm.  She usually sleeps to about 6.30am or 7am (hard to know sometimes as she shares a room with her younger sister who I think often wakes her in the mornings (dd2 still naps obviously).
