Hoping this passes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/he-just-turned-two-this-cant-be-the-end-of-naps-already-right#post-2296581 Sun, 20 Sep 2015 19:40:24 +0000 tlcbaby 2296581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@knittylady: Luckily things seem to be back to normal for now. He still doesn't always nap well at daycare, but at home he seems to be doing pretty well. Fingers crossed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/he-just-turned-two-this-cant-be-the-end-of-naps-already-right#post-2296283 Sun, 20 Sep 2015 12:28:30 +0000 knittylady 2296283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Didn't see this thread originally but so happy to see it now! I was just going to start this thread myself...</p> <p>@tlcbaby: Our LO's are the same age and for the past week or so D has been fighting his nap like crazy!! He ends up passing out in the car or stroller later in the day - or is cranky as all get out - or both when he skips. Really hoping it's a phase... How's it going with A now? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/he-just-turned-two-this-cant-be-the-end-of-naps-already-right#post-2282943 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 11:14:40 +0000 yin 2282943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO1 dropped his nap shortly after he turned 2. It was a bummer at first but worked well in the long run. Now that LO2 is approaching 2, I don't want him to drop his nap for a long time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/he-just-turned-two-this-cant-be-the-end-of-naps-already-right#post-2282917 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 11:03:46 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2282917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Keep trying! Naps for DS have been hit or miss since he turned 2. He's about to turn 3, and he only naps for us at home now. The days he does nap, it's for about 2 hours, but then he doesn't want to go to sleep for us at night easily. I'm fearing this is the end of our nap era! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/he-just-turned-two-this-cant-be-the-end-of-naps-already-right#post-2282912 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 10:58:36 +0000 Alivoo01 2282912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tlcbaby: That would totally work! lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/he-just-turned-two-this-cant-be-the-end-of-naps-already-right#post-2282891 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 10:50:01 +0000 tlcbaby 2282891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: Maybe I could throw him in the car and go get a coffee. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/he-just-turned-two-this-cant-be-the-end-of-naps-already-right#post-2282889 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 10:49:05 +0000 tlcbaby 2282889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: Ahhh---good point! Maybe he was too excited. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/he-just-turned-two-this-cant-be-the-end-of-naps-already-right#post-2282887 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 10:48:43 +0000 tlcbaby 2282887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kiddosc: I went up there after an hour to try and lay him back down and cover him up. But he never went to sleep after that, either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/he-just-turned-two-this-cant-be-the-end-of-naps-already-right#post-2281920 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 15:51:22 +0000 loveisstrange 2281920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DD dropped her nap before 2. She napped kind of here and there after that, but never regularly again. That's not saying she didn't need them still, she just didn't do it. We ended up moving her bedtime and she started sleeping all her time at night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/he-just-turned-two-this-cant-be-the-end-of-naps-already-right#post-2281823 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 14:55:20 +0000 dagret 2281823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my son tried to drop his naps when he turned 2 as well. I just kept pushing it. It was probably a 4 week phase. Awful! But now he's 2.5 and he still naps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/he-just-turned-two-this-cant-be-the-end-of-naps-already-right#post-2281800 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 14:40:03 +0000 pinkb 2281800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD dropped her naps at just over 2 years old, much to my dismay :( I still think she needs a nap more often than not but she will not nap. I have let her try for over an hour and a half with no success. It was making me really mad and in turn she would feel like she was being punished and it was just horrible. So after trying for over a month I gave up. On days where she is really tired she will lay down and rest on the couch or sometimes she will fall asleep in the car. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/he-just-turned-two-this-cant-be-the-end-of-naps-already-right#post-2281738 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 13:54:38 +0000 Trailmix 2281738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely keep trying. We have gone through a few phases where one or the other of mine refuses to nap but it only lasted a few (terrifying) days, then they have gone back to 2+ hours of napping. Just keep doing your usual routine, I bet he will go back to it soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/he-just-turned-two-this-cant-be-the-end-of-naps-already-right#post-2281677 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 13:06:26 +0000 Alivoo01 2281677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 2 and definitely still needs a nap! He could easily power through the day without one, but it'll totally jack up night time sleep. So when he refuses to go down for one, we'll put him in the car and not even a minute later, he's out! It's bad, I know, but it's the quickest way for us and we don't mind driving around the neighborhood for a minute then heading home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/he-just-turned-two-this-cant-be-the-end-of-naps-already-right#post-2281662 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 13:01:19 +0000 Smurfette 2281662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tlcbaby: If he isn't crying, just leave him! Also I have found if I tell my LO that we are going to do something after nap, it either takes her forever to fall asleep (which is normal for her) or she wakes up after an hour and is ready to go do whatever I said. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/he-just-turned-two-this-cant-be-the-end-of-naps-already-right#post-2281659 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 13:00:42 +0000 kiddosc 2281659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went through a period around 2 where he wasn't napping well, but it passed and he is still napping for long periods at almost 3.5. </p> <p>How long are you letting him stay in bed. I would keep E in bed for the whole duration of his expected nap (2 hrs for us). Sometimes it would take him 1.5 hrs to fall asleep. It kind of messes with the rest of the day, but no way was I giving up nap time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/he-just-turned-two-this-cant-be-the-end-of-naps-already-right#post-2281656 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 12:59:11 +0000 tlcbaby 2281656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: Thanks, Smurfette. That is what I'm trying to do right now, but it's hard when he is just up there not even lying down! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/he-just-turned-two-this-cant-be-the-end-of-naps-already-right#post-2281654 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 12:58:48 +0000 tlcbaby 2281654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BandDmommy: I really need him to keep napping for at least another year...for my sanity! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/he-just-turned-two-this-cant-be-the-end-of-naps-already-right#post-2281652 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 12:58:15 +0000 BandDmommy 2281652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would keep trying. My son is 3 and still naps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/he-just-turned-two-this-cant-be-the-end-of-naps-already-right#post-2281649 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 12:57:46 +0000 Smurfette 2281649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would keep trying. Don't get him till what would be nap time is over. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/he-just-turned-two-this-cant-be-the-end-of-naps-already-right#post-2281647 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 12:56:31 +0000 tlcbaby 2281647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Avery started part-time daycare a few weeks ago. He sometimes naps there and sometimes not, but we are working on it and he is at least falling asleep for a little while when he is there. At home, he has still been napping well, but for the past few days he just jumps in his bed and talks until I finally go get him. I try to give him plenty of time to fall asleep, but it ain't happening. I even told him we would go swimming if he took his nap.</p> <p>This can't be the end of naps, right? Should I just keep trying? </p>
