It seems that if I want her to nap I have to really, really wear her out in the morning. Unfortunately, this is difficult to do with all the snow we've been having. Typically I have to get her out - to the park or the children's museum, etc. - to really tire her out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-toddler-stop-napping-completely#post-1417926 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 12:57:00 +0000 Cchoi4 1417926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Yoyo: same here :) with baby #2 to take care of, its harder to enforce naps with his older brother. At least your little one stayed in his room and listened! Yesterday I told DS to stay in his bed (which he didn't listen to) but he actually stayed in his room and played for a bit. But after about 1 hour of trying to get him to nap with multiple times of him coming out of his room, i just gave up...now i'm thinking i need to use a lock to enforce at least some sort of quiet play time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-toddler-stop-napping-completely#post-1416945 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 08:07:23 +0000 looch 1416945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son is three and he still naps every day. he doesn't have the best/longest night sleep, so that factors into it.</p> <p>I think he'll probably also nap when he goes to preschool next year, the program ends at 1:45, and I am sure he'll at least nap for an hour when he comes home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-toddler-stop-napping-completely#post-1416933 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 08:04:27 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 1416933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: sigh. We just had a week where DS started fighting his nap. So I told him to play quietly in his room and lie down on his own if he felt tired. (Which actually worked, he still napped, just later than usual). Still, so stressful. I neeeeed him to nap, especially with baby here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-toddler-stop-napping-completely#post-1416719 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 00:42:43 +0000 SAHM0811 1416719@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 6 year old napped til around 5 yo. She's a great sleeper overall. My 2.5 yo is still napping regularly and I can't imagine her dropping it anytime soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-toddler-stop-napping-completely#post-1415889 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 17:27:55 +0000 Cchoi4 1415889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ugh, my DS is 2 months shy of 3 years old and refuses to nap at home. His teachers at school say he naps and the chart says he naps from 1.5-2 hours when he is there....he just does not want to nap at home. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-toddler-stop-napping-completely#post-1398415 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 14:39:05 +0000 lamariniere 1398415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 3 and still naps every day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-toddler-stop-napping-completely#post-1398279 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 13:51:48 +0000 whodat 1398279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD pretty much stopped napping the summer before kindergarten, but in her kindergarten class they had "rest time" and she would definitely fall asleep. DS is 2 and still takes a 1.5-2 hr nap every day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-toddler-stop-napping-completely#post-1398224 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 13:40:43 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1398224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Shortly before he turned 4 because he stopped napping at school. They get a 45 min naptime, but he doesn't nap there.</p> <p>Sometimes he passes out in the stroller and if he's really really tired he might nap at home, but it's rare. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-toddler-stop-napping-completely#post-1398198 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 13:35:05 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1398198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's 3 and still naps most every day. Every once in awhile she'll just play on her bed instead for the duration of her nap, but for the most part she'll still take a 1.5 hour nap in the afternoon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-toddler-stop-napping-completely#post-1397579 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 11:07:36 +0000 erwoo 1397579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oldest is almost 5 and still naps only b/c his preschool does naps still. He is okay without naps now though so sometimes on the weekends when we're out and about we'll skip it. He falls asleep faster too at night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-toddler-stop-napping-completely#post-1397548 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 10:56:21 +0000 pinkcupcake 1397548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wonder this too! My almost 2yo naps once a day, for about 2 hours. I'm gonna be so distraught when she drops this nap. </p> <p>I've been asking friends and it seems like answers are all over the place. Some kids stopped napping around 2.5yo, while others are still napping at age 4. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-toddler-stop-napping-completely#post-1397521 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 10:46:37 +0000 chopsuey 1397521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>28 months.<br /> Every once in a while (if she's really tired) she'll car nap if we're on the road between 2-4pm though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-toddler-stop-napping-completely#post-1397440 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 10:23:53 +0000 mamimami 1397440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are at age 3 and he naps almost every day, but does skips a day here and there. I don't want to think about this. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-toddler-stop-napping-completely#post-1397401 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 10:11:13 +0000 loveisstrange 1397401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>20 months? I dont know if its a phase, but its been like 2.5 months and she very, very rarely naps. Like once every 2 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-toddler-stop-napping-completely#post-1397371 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 09:58:57 +0000 PinkElephant 1397371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 19 month old has refused her nap for the past 2 days. I'm praying this is just a blip and not the end of naps as we know them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-toddler-stop-napping-completely#post-1397357 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 09:52:24 +0000 Mamaof2 1397357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>100%? At age 5 when I said no more naps! He was falling asleep at DCP at 230 and being woken up at 3 and then he was up until 10pm! So now he never naps and he goes to sleep at 7pm much better!! </p> <p>Backing up a little at age 3 when he moved into a big bed his naps slowed down a lot! They were hit or miss - he would still nap at school but never on the weekends!</p> <p>DD is almost 3 and she has all of a sudden stopped napping completely..... I really hope this is a phase!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-toddler-stop-napping-completely#post-1397267 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 09:18:07 +0000 oscarthegoon 1397267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO will be 4 in April and although he doesn't nap at daycare, he still easily naps on the weekends at home. I'm curious to see what others say because I've been wondering when he will stop entirely. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-toddler-stop-napping-completely#post-1397227 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 08:51:50 +0000 Rubies 1397227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>D1 is 2.5 years old and still takes one nap per day at daycare. However, on the weekends at home, sometimes she'll just stay in her bed and play by herself for the duration of her naptime (approx 1.5-2 hours) but as soon as we're in the car, she'll conk out.</p> <p>I'm just curious when your toddler stopped napping altogether. </p>
