She has always been an awesome night sleeper though and was a good napped until 22mos. We put her in her crib for nap time every day though anyway and she just sings and plays happily. I have no plans to stop. We do a super early bedtime (like 6:30) and she sleeps ~13 hours at night. Since we’re stuck at home I love this schedule since I still get a break during the day but she goes to bed early. When I was commuting this bedtime would have sucked but now it’s fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-toddler-hate-napping#post-2916322 Wed, 10 Jun 2020 23:31:30 +0000 Portboston 2916322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My kid stopped napping around 2.5. It sucked. He’s always been a terrible sleeper over all. He takes after his dad. I’m high sleep needs so I value my time when he’s with his dad!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-toddler-hate-napping#post-2916295 Tue, 09 Jun 2020 14:29:10 +0000 DesertDreams88 2916295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both of my kids sleep low sleep needs, and it sucks. My son only ever napped for max 90 min after about 18 months, and dropped it completely a couple weeks before age 3. My daughter is 2y4m and only needs mayyyybbbbbeeee an hour, most of the time it's just a car nap. </p> <p>They both have a lot of trouble falling asleep at night, too, despite all the recommendations. So we use melatonin and it's been a lifesaver. 1mg nightly for my 4 year old and just started the 2yr old on .5mg. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-toddler-hate-napping#post-2916294 Tue, 09 Jun 2020 13:45:02 +0000 bhbee 2916294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I’m waiting for her to fall asleep so I have a lot of free time here ... 😬</p> <p>LO3 is 22 months and I already feel like she doesn’t need a nap every day. She doesn’t seem to have high sleep needs and she’s probably also wanting to be up with the big kids, but I NEED this nap from her especially if school is part time in the fall for the big kids. </p> <p>Last night she fell asleep around 9pm after bedtime around 8pm ... was rocking and rolling in the crib until then. (She had napped about 12-2 yesterday.) She has been teething and ended up in our bed around 5 and up by 7. Tried nap at 12ish today ... it’s 1:40 here and she’s been singing and dancing and playing the whole time (in the crib at least!). I’ll probably just get her up soon because if she sleeps much past 2 she wants to go to bed even later. </p> <p>Is there any hope this is just a phase? Should I never let her sleep more than an hour? I miss my oldest who napped amazingly! </p> <p>Plan to keep up crib time for a while regardless of actual sleeping. Being home full time with her siblings (5 and 8) for months I think she’s just decided she’s big too! </p>
