Anyone child still napping?

Question

Mine has been in daycare for a couple years and they have always had a 2 hour nap right after lunch at noon. But now shes not in daycare and I've noticed her having trouble sleeping for her whole nap and at night. I guess my question is, should I move her nap a little later in the day. Maybe 1:30 and hope that helps. 
Ps. She still needs her nap. Its completely night and day difference in her attitude.

Answer

We have quiet time from 1-3 in her room. I read her a story or two and let her play with some of her toys in her room if she wants. Usually she ends up sleeping, but not always. Even if she's just quietly playing in her room by herself I think she's less stimulated and resting somewhat. Maybe you can try to just have quiet time and see if that's restful enough for her.

Answer

Can you call the daycare & se what they do during naps? Maybe putting her in a similar routine will help. From how my son is, napping later makes getting them to sleep at night even worse.

Answer

I know daycare they may get more energy out and then kids tend to fall in line with other kids. Everyone is napping so so will I. 
I have a pretty good routine and time frame, and my son still naps 1.5-2hrs a day. I make sure he gets 1.5-2hours out outside play in the morning. Nature play or parks. BUT 
We just went through a sleep regression a couple weeks ago. Some days it took me 40 minutes to get him to nap ( walking home back to bed over and over). Now he is back to going right to sleep. It took about 2 weeks. Nap and bedtimes. 
I have ocean sounds on for him. I used to work at a preschool and I know they would put on soft music for the kids and nap was always right after lunch.

Answer

My 2016 son dropped his naps completely at 18months and my 2018 son has dropped his at 2 1/2 but he clearly still needs it as spends his evening grumpy and totally irritable but I cannot get him to nap now unfortunately.

Answer

Mine still usually naps! Sometimes for 2-3 hours.

Answer

My daughter is finally at a good place where if she takes a nap she sleeps through the night just fine or if we skip it she’s okay at the end of the day. We just have to be sure we get her in bed at bedtime and no later if she does skip.
But because she does take a nap if we give her the opportunity I was told it means she still needs them. 
If I put her to nap too late past her nap time she won’t take it though. 
If I’m wanting her to take her nap then I have to put her to take it on time. If she even sleeps for 10 minutes in the car she won’t take her nap anymore when we get home lol. It doesn’t bother me anymore if we are having a unique day she misses her nap because she doesn’t get fussy at the end of the day like she used to. She would have meltdowns if she missed her naps. So if I happen to give her a nap too late she just gets “quiet time” in her room and plays with her toys.

Answer

No my daughter does not nap. If she does nap she doesn't go top bed until 11pm and wakes in the night

Answer

My son completely dropped naps at 2 1/2😭 but he was definitely ready and there was no tantrums at the end of the day. I would do like others suggest and have a quiet time. If she needs a nap that day she will end up falling asleep.

Answer

I just do quiet time for her while little sister takes a nap. She doesn't get up super early and being able to put both kids down for bed at 8 with no problems is way more of a lifesaver for me so we took naps out a while back for my sanity.
