Has anyone else cut out nap?

Question

We've cut out her nap because she would not go to sleep for 2 hours after putting her to bed, and then would wake up a lot during the night just chatting and playing in her crib. Since cutting the nap she falls asleep right away and only wakes up once in the night.
 Just wondering if I'm the only one who has lost the midday break haha

Answer

Nope, don’t think he’s close to dropping it lol He goes to bed around 10:30 and I wake him up at 7am to drop him off at his grandmas. He naps from 1pm-3/4pm. If he goes back to sleep when I drop him off, his nap is only an hour long. Some days though he doesn’t nap but it’s rare! I’m glad it’s working out for her though!! Whatever works for YOUR baby is what is the way to go 🤍

Answer

Wow.  My son still sleeps for 3 hours and goes to bed from 7pm-6am. Goes to show that all our babies are different and on their own path.

Answer

My child refuses to nap. We've tried and tried and I've just given up. It can take up to 2 hours for him to knock out. But I think it's because he goes to sleep around 9 ishh a d wakes up between 8:30 and 10 am. If he wakes up super early. Then those are the days he has no problem napping. But that's rare.

Answer

My sons sleeps for 2-3 hours at daycare but then won't go to bed till later at night. When at home I try to keep his naps to 1 - 1 1/2. And he seems to sleep better with less wake ups.

Answer

What time did her nap used to be? Could you just try earlier and keep it short? I would die without the nap time break haha. My girly still sleeps 1.5-3 hrs during the day

Answer

Not close to dropping our nap either. Sometimes (rarely) she naps twice. I don’t let her nap total go over 2.5 hours (appropriate for her age). She naps from 1230-130/2. Goes to bed at 630/7 and wakes up at 530am ... Sleeps through the night

Answer

Nope! I don’t think he’s anywhere near ready to drop it! And neither am I haha He wakes up around 8/830 am and is ready for his nap around 1215/1230. He usually naps for 1.5-2.5 hours depending on how tired he is. Bedtime is at 8/830.

Answer

No way haha Amelia sleeps about 1.5 hours sometimes 2. I know some kids who like naps till close to kindergarten! I guess every kid is different but I think the nap helps her lol

Answer

I have finally gotten our routine down. ( I say that, and she is gonna screw me over and switch up on me)
We are up between 7 and 8, nap 12-2 or 1-3, and bedtime 7:45 or 8:45. Everything gets shifted an hour depending on how the nap goes. Today she napped from 1-2 so she is going to bed at 7:45 tonight.

Answer

Erm. Somewhere inbetween. We don't really know what to do right now.
If she doesnt nap, she gets tired at around 6 and sometimes falls asleep before dinner (which messes everything up) but if she doesnt she will go to bed at 8pm perfectly.
If she does nap (2pm-4pm), she is less grouchy at 6 but is still wide awake by about 10pm, sometimes as late as 11! But also when she wakes up at 4 she still seems tired and it sometimes takes hours for her to wake up properly- usually she gets very clingy and wont eat, drink, go to the potty etc.
