She's a mess come bedtime! I have been debating whether or not to put her to bed later but the only problem is that I can't have her wake up later on the mornings when she does go to day care. We need her up by 6:45 am on those days so I'd hate to deprive her the good night time sleep that she does get. The time change is coming up soon anyway so I don't want to mess around with her bedtime right now. </p> <p>I do have a friend whose two kids both stopped napping at 1 year so I guess it does happen. Unfortunate for us both! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyones-lo-stop-napping-at-a-young-age#post-3195 Mon, 10 Oct 2011 08:07:39 +0000 Mrs. Bee 3195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>most kids drop naps at 3, so 17 months is def early to drop all naps. will she nap in the stroller? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyones-lo-stop-napping-at-a-young-age#post-3193 Mon, 10 Oct 2011 07:47:54 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 3193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmmm doesn't nap at all. Not even 1x? I've heard kids eventually skipping the morning nap. I imagine she's exhausted come bed time? </p> <p>Have to tried putting her to Bed later ? Maybe longer awake stretchs will make her nap? Clearly this might be a bad idea. I'm not at that stage yet. Good luck </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyones-lo-stop-napping-at-a-young-age#post-3184 Mon, 10 Oct 2011 06:42:36 +0000 Andrea 3184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 17 months now and hasn't napped since she was 15 months. I thought surely it would be a phase but now after 2 months...maybe not? I've tried CIO, rocking, co-sleeping: nothing works except for a long car ride, which I would rather not do as I'm usually tired myself. Luckily she sleeps from 7 pm to 7 am so at least I know she isn't short a lot of sleep. Just wondering if anyone else had their LO drop all naps early on? </p>
