Naps.

The bane of my life. I’ve posted several times probably late last year sometime. My 19 nearly 20 month old hasn’t napped since 16 months. She was fab for a long time not really overtired or cranky but now she wakes around 7-8:30am it varies. By 11am she’s exhausted but goes in stages where she’s fab then stages where she is so cranky. Lately it’s more the cranky that’s why I’m posting.

I persisted around 4 weeks to see if it was sleep regression moved naps around moved bedtime done lots and she never napped again. when she did nap we would have a bedtime fight no nap she goes down like a dream. What do I do? I tried a few days last week to get her to nap but she doesn’t want to so she resists it. She won’t nap in car pram downstairs or anything tried it all. She is clearly tired but won’t nap.

she sleeps 7pm-7am/8:30am pretty consistently. Do I just accept the cranky or do I force nap and risk a disruption to the routine?
