Is your 2.5 year old still taking a nap?

Question

Mine fights it with every fiber of her being. She goes to bed at 7:30 and we try to put her down for nap or even just quiet time around 2pm. Sometimes she does nap, sometimes she screams and then comes out in 30min. Sometimes she plays with books quietly in bed. Just wondering if y’all even try a nap or not?

Answer

Yes my kid turns into a total asshole 3 hours after she wakes up, so she takes her nap 5 hours after wake up time and is a much more pleasant person when she gets up from her nap!

Answer

My girl still naps too. She needs it for sure, but she has also been fighting it. But once she gives in and gets into bed, she is out like a light. She usually sleeps from 1:30ish-3:30ish. Her bedtime has seem pushed back until about 8pm. Although we start the bedtime routine around 6:30pm as she will do anything to not get into bed. It’s exhausting!

Answer

No she’s not and it literally drives me nuts. She stays up super late until around midnight and then gets up at 8am. 😡 I don’t know how she does it. It’s so odd too bc she had a great schedule before the new baby was born she would be in bed at 8pm and asleep by 9. And now she doesn’t want to stick to any routine. She just does her own thing even though the routine for everyone else hasn’t changed. All of our other children are in bed by 9pm even our 4 month old. Idk how she’s going to function at preschool in the fall if she doesn’t start sleeping better. She’s also waking all at least once at night, sometimes two or three times. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Answer

My daughter sleeps much better at bedtime if she doesn’t nap. But the evening she is a bit grouchy. If I have errands to run I do it around noon because the car will put her to sleep. So basically I can’t put her in the car after 3.-at all. Ever. Or she doesn’t sleep at all that night.

Answer

Nope my 2,5year old is like a 5year old 🙈 lol no naps unless he’s super hot or had a hectic busy day... he does however sleep through the night & doesn’t wake at all. We also have a 5months old who wakes about 2times a night, kids sleep in our bed, doesn’t bother my toddler, he sleeps through 😅

Answer

Yes, my son still does 2-2.5 hour naps every day. I dread the day when it comes to an end 😭 It helps that his preschool follows the same schedule. Then at night he sleeps typically from 8 to 6:45/7. 
How much does she sleep at night?

Answer

Some days, she fights it though.

Answer

To all of you who have kiddos that aren’t napping right now, my advice is to stick it out and continue trying. Don’t give up! Right around 2 years, my son REFUSED to sleep. He would scream and cry, sometimes he would sit and play but I never stopped putting him in his room. Every so often he would miss his nap because I didn’t put him down but that was rare. I didn’t want to give up on his nap. I’m glad I didn’t, because it took probably 4 months, but one day he just randomly started napping again.

Answer

My 2.5 y/o still take a nap. If he don’t we will both be cranky lol. I pushed his nap back at 2y/o to 2:00p from 1:00pm since he went down to one nap. He now naps from 2p-4:40 almost everyday. I’m currently expecting baby number 2 and the only issues we are facing lately is constant crying. He isn’t sick or anything I just feel like he knows the new baby is on the way.

Answer

Accidentally hit no when I meant to say yes 🤦🏼‍♀️
