2 year old not napping?

Question

My daughter just turned two last month. She’s gone the past 5 days without a nap. She usually wakes up between 8 and 9 AM and then falls asleep by 8 or 9 PM. Is this fine?? She gets probably between 10-14 hours of sleep on average without the nap. If she does nap, she can stay up until 11 or midnight before getting tired. She seems totally happy and we prefer the no nap schedule, but is she too young to be dropping naps?

Answer

I think my daughter is going to do this. 🤦‍♀️ I enjoy the break while she naps but she only napped 30 minutes today and was ready to go. My son was around 2.5 when he started skipping naps, he would go 2-3 days and then need a short nap. But otherwise I would say if it works for you and isn’t affecting them or their night sleep just go with it! We offered quiet time with my son for about 6 months until he was 3. He didn’t have to sleep but I wanted him to play quietly in his bed. That way if he needed a nap he could still doze off, but he was also fine to just play.

Answer

My daughter turned two last month and I just had my second baby 2 weeks ago and it’s been days my daughter doesn’t nap or naps and then up to midnight it’s been an adjustment for sure
