When did or have you cut out naps!?

Question

My daughter is still taking naps during the day, and they're usually about 1.5 to 2 hours long. Which I'm thinking is too long because she doesn't sleep in like she used to. She's in bed by 8:45 and usually falls asleep by 9. And she used to sleep in until 7:30/8am but now for the past month she's been waking up at 6:30/45am. Which is fine, but it's nice waking up in the morning and not having a toddler demanding things right away lol. I only give her the naps because I know she's tired but maybe I should stop and see if it changes her wake up time? Or maybe she doesn't need that much sleep at night? I don't know 🤷‍♀️🤪 
But when did you cut out naps? And why?

Answer

Charlie very rarely takes naps. She gets quiet time in her room where she can play independently or nap. She has a barbie house and then she gets a different bin each day of the week. All of them have a coloring book, crayons or markers, and 2 books. Then the rest changes.  Some have stickers, stamps, playdoh, hotwheels, little animals, her potato head family, etc. She plays for about 2 hours while her little sister naps. She goes to bed at 8pm and wakes up 7-7:30am.

My son has been in this in between for soooooo long. We are finally cutting his naps note that there’s no daycare to consider, and as he seems to be able to finally handle himself without them.

Answer

Will takes a nap every day for at least 1 hour - up to 2.5 hours. His bedtime is always 7 / 730PM regardless of nap duration. All kids are different, but my son definitely still needs his extra rest.

Answer

Georgia still naps almost everyday for about 1.5 to 2 hours. Then about 10 hours at night.

Answer

My daughter stopped napping around a year and a half old. If she napped during the day, she had a really hard time sleeping at night. I think three years old is about the age many kids stop napping. My daughter sleeps through the night now from 7:30pm - 8am.

Answer

My son really started fighting naps around 18 months. By 2 he was pretty much done with them. He still naps OCCASIONALLY if we're driving somewhere late in the afternoon.

Answer

We still have nap time each day, although some days he just plays in his room for an hour. He's actually napping maybe 2/3 of the time now. I have noticed he sometimes has more trouble getting to sleep at night when he naps during the day and we've started limiting his nap time because of that. He definitely still needs naps though or we get some major overtired meltdowns just before bed!

Answer

I wish my 3 year old napped. She cut naps out on her own ar about 2.5. She has never been a great sleeper and would wake frequently at night. Around 2.5 she really started fighting naps, almost dreading them so I started giving her quiet time in her room during that time instead where she can quietly play with her toys for an hour in her room. And miraculously when we cut the nap, she began sleeping through the night no wakeup. She sleeps from 7:30 to 7:30/8am every night rarely ever waking at night or earlier than that. I will take the 12 full hours or sleep over the nap now. Can you try cutting her nap a little shorter?
