Around 27 months no nap became more frequenting I started putting him down a bit later (130). By 31 months he napped about 50% of the time and again was napping g a but later (2) and by 34 months was done with the nap completely :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-tell-me-this-is-an-isolated-incident-or-at-least-a-short-phase#post-2150932 Tue, 21 Apr 2015 08:46:50 +0000 illumina 2150932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks all! I put her down a bit later today and she napped 1-3 :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-tell-me-this-is-an-isolated-incident-or-at-least-a-short-phase#post-2150000 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 12:49:48 +0000 birdofafeather 2150000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD (27 months) also will have a random day like this (sometimes I think maybe she fell asleep in the car for 5 minutes and then she's fine?!) and I just leave her in there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-tell-me-this-is-an-isolated-incident-or-at-least-a-short-phase#post-2149999 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 12:49:38 +0000 edelweiss 2149999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my LO is about 27 months and has gone through at least a couple of phases where he went without naps on weekends (he naps at daycare during the week) for a few weeks in a row. the last time was about a month ago, and i really was worried he was ready to drop his one nap. luckily i was wrong. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-tell-me-this-is-an-isolated-incident-or-at-least-a-short-phase#post-2149982 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 12:44:16 +0000 PinkElephant 2149982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My nearly 3 year old sometimes goes a few days (up to a week once!) without a nap, but so far she always goes back to it. A friend told me her daughter (the same age) once went for about 3 months without napping, but she's gone back to it as well. I think the key is to insist on at least an hour of "quiet time" in the crib/bed, no matter what...even if it means letting them look at books or play with a doll or something to keep them there. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-tell-me-this-is-an-isolated-incident-or-at-least-a-short-phase#post-2149966 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 12:36:41 +0000 Foodnerd81 2149966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It will pass! We go through phases where naps are harder and she skips them occasionally then she goes back to normal. This is why I pushed her nap time back by half an hour though- I have had fewer skipped naps and it takes her less time to fall asleep since I starting putting her down half an hour later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-tell-me-this-is-an-isolated-incident-or-at-least-a-short-phase#post-2149965 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 12:36:37 +0000 BananaPancakes 2149965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Keep trying. My 3 year old has gone through several phases of a day or two not napping. But he always ends up making it up with a 3 hour nap the next day. It probably won't be he last time she tries to keep herself awake. There's just way too much fun to be had! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-tell-me-this-is-an-isolated-incident-or-at-least-a-short-phase#post-2149964 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 12:36:10 +0000 blackbird 2149964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's happened occasionally for us. Then she gets tired and goes back to napping. </p> <p>I left E in her crib one afternoon for THREE AND A HALF HOURS before she finally fell asleep. it was BIZARRE. She just played with her animals and I figured, whatever, it's quiet time </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-tell-me-this-is-an-isolated-incident-or-at-least-a-short-phase#post-2149960 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 12:35:44 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2149960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My dd (2.5 though) has been doing this awhile but as long as she's ok in the crib I leave her for awhile. She's starting to be ok with no nap but for a long time even just being alone and quiet in her crib helped her mood in the afternoon/evening. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-tell-me-this-is-an-isolated-incident-or-at-least-a-short-phase#post-2149956 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 12:33:44 +0000 illumina 2149956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So today at 19 months LO had her first no nap day. I don't get it...she regularly sleeps at least 2hrs in the middle of the day, but today it was like she wasn't even tired. I left her in her cot for 2hrs, but she just alternated between rolling around and sitting up looking around talking to herself!</p> <p>It has been taking her a while to fall asleep for naps recently but at least she has always eventually napped before! I thought she would be miserable the whole afternoon...but she lasted until bedtime with no drama!</p> <p>Please tell me this will pass! I SAH and I'm not ready for no nap yet! </p>
