My 21 month old has started skipping naps. I was putting her down at 12:30, guess I'll try pushing it to 1. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-stop-napping-1#post-1810688 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 22:13:41 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1810688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Noelle is 3 years 7 months and still taking one afternoon nap - she still naps on average 2 hours... sometimes 3!</p> <p>There have been periods before this when I thought she was about to do away with her nap altogether because she would fight it, but it'd last a few days and she'd start napping again. During those periods, I just firmly insisted on quiet play time on her own in her bed. Sometimes she'd play, but end up falling asleep anyway. :silly: </p> <p>You can always try giving a choice - "You either take a nap or you can play quietly on your bed, but you can't get off your bed" - that method always worked for us. This way even if she doesn't take a nap, at least you both still get some downtime in.</p> <p>I also agree with Mrs. Bee that it sounds like she might need a later naptime. Sometime around 2 years old Noelle's naps got pushed from 12 to 1-1:30. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-stop-napping-1#post-1810683 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 22:08:20 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1810683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>can you try a later naptime around 1pm or 1:30?</p> <p>charlie dropped his nap just before he turned 4. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-stop-napping-1#post-1810631 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 21:16:29 +0000 pinkb 1810631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I found some older threads, but wanted to see if anyone else has recently had this issue.</p> <p>LO is 19 months old and for the last week or so she fights her nap for the longest time. She was waking at 7am napping from 12 til 2 (give or take 30 min on the front end or back end) and bedtime at 7-7:30. But now if I put her in her crib at 12 she will play in her crib until 2 and then pass out same if I put her down at 1 still up til 2 then passes out. I have been waking her up at 3 or a little later hoping it wouldnt mess with bedtime too much. But it has caused her bedtime to be pushed back between 8-9 and she has been waking up between 7-8:30. The only change or difference is she is cutting her first molar, but no other changes. DH and I work opposite shifts so I usually bring LO to work with me at 2:30 for DH to pick her up and go home. So this schedule is not working cause I am late to work if LO is sleeping and I wait for DH to come home. Is it just a phase? Ideas? Or are we just domed to longer have a nap time :( </p>
