I generally leave her in bed for an hour before calling it a no nap day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-ever-completely-skip-a-nap#post-1614451 Mon, 05 May 2014 18:49:41 +0000 Sophs Mama 1614451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, and then we pay for it dearly in the middle of the night. Last night she was up from 1-5. Kill me now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-ever-completely-skip-a-nap#post-1614294 Mon, 05 May 2014 17:47:03 +0000 pinkcupcake 1614294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. tictactoe: No, I'm going in there soon... the thought of her going nuts and not falling asleep until 10PM terrifies me to no end :T </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-ever-completely-skip-a-nap#post-1614292 Mon, 05 May 2014 17:45:00 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 1614292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pinkcupcake: ugh, the worst. I'd give her a half hour and then wake her up unless you don't mind her being up late tonight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-ever-completely-skip-a-nap#post-1614276 Mon, 05 May 2014 17:38:25 +0000 pinkcupcake 1614276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumn865: haha yes, she always does something to shake it up!</p> <p> @sandy: same, she usually falls asleep immediately on no nap or short nap days so I know she still needs that afternoon sleep</p> <p>@mrs. tictactoe: she actually just fell asleep now, at 340... Crap idk what to do :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-ever-completely-skip-a-nap#post-1614263 Mon, 05 May 2014 17:32:33 +0000 autumn865 1614263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This was us today with my LO (20 months) I just reluctantly went with it and went on with the normal day routien. Just when you think you have a schedule worked out, right?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-ever-completely-skip-a-nap#post-1614244 Mon, 05 May 2014 17:23:01 +0000 sandy 1614244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pinkcupcake: yes, she does this every few days. Naps well 3-4 days then doesn't nap 1 day. This has been going on since she was around 2. She's almost 2.5 now and I just deal with it. Like you, I still insist on quiet time for 2 hours. So from 2:30-4:30 she stays in her bed and if she just plays and talks the whole time I get her at the 2 hour mark and everything is moved up an hour. She has dinner an hour earlier and bath and bedtime is an hour earlier. She does fine but the minute we turn the lights out she is asleep ASAP so I know an earlier bedtime is needed. So bedtime is 7:00 rather than 8:00. It works for us. And the days she does nap she naps for 3 hours so I know she still needs a nap and is nowhere near dropping it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-ever-completely-skip-a-nap#post-1614242 Mon, 05 May 2014 17:21:14 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 1614242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It has happened before and I think the quiet time helps. If he's not upset, I leave him there for a while. It has never happened two days in a row, so hopefully she will nap for you tomorrow! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-ever-completely-skip-a-nap#post-1614230 Mon, 05 May 2014 17:13:57 +0000 pinkcupcake 1614230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 2yo usually takes a 1.5 - 2 hour nap in the afternoon. Today I took her upstairs at 130 (her usual naptime), and the whole time, she's been talking, singing, playing with her dolls, and basically doing everything but sleep. It's 315 here now and it doesn't look like this nap is gonna happen! </p> <p>What do you usually do? Just bring them down after awhile? She's not upset or anything ... And I guess she got some "quiet" time so hopefully she won't be too much of a mess this evening! </p>
