I have no advice, just wanted to say I feel your pain. My DS is 29 months and has been fighting naps. He went from regular 1.5-2 hour naps one day to nothing the next! I am going to have a newborn in February and I was counting on his naps for survival, so I really hope it's just a phase!

Is she happy? Every kid is different so it's possible! That's how it went when my dd dropped it but we were able to switch to "rest" or "quiet" time. She was 2.5. My son (26m) goes some days without napping but can't go indefinitely so it could be she naps every other day or something? Sorry, that seems so early to drop naps totally!

Yes, she could be done! DS stopped napping at home at 18 months. DD sort of stopped at 2 - sometimes she'll nap, but much more often she won't.

Mine started fighting as well and I found that he just needed a little more awake time in the morning before nap. So previously I had been rushing him home from school/camp and putting him straight to bed. But I found he needed a little wind down time. So we pushed nap back about an hour and then bedtime back an hour. So now he gets up 7am, naps 1:30-3:30/4, Bed 8pm.
It did happen closer to 2.5 though.

Personally I’d never give up on nap at only 24 months. I truly believe they still need it you just might need to tweak and experiment.

We had a similar issue but around that point as well but since my son was in daycare, it was only an issue on the weekends for us (he succumbed to the peer pressure of his classmates napping during the week apparently). We ended up laying/napping with him to get him to nap since we didn't want him to give it up and he saw it as a special treat to nap with us. He was an only child at the time and we were only dealing with weekends but we were able to extend naps for a long time that way. In fact, I often still get him to nap at 5.5 by crawling into bed with him. I'm happy to make that sacrifice and take a nap myself!

DS2 started fighting naps at 24 months as well and it lasted for almost a month. It was of course also during the transition to a different classroom too. But, once the transition happened, he started napping more regularly again. He definitely still skips naps here and there, but has been getting better about being more regular.

I'd still continue to try. Stick with the same routine as you do for bed and make sure the room is dark enough. She might start to get back into it, even if it's just for an hour.

One thing we didn't do was move bedtime up. That made it worse, because he was getting enough sleep at night, but couldn't make it through the day anymore. If you continue to put her to bed at the same time she would normally go to bed without moving bedtime up, she may be more tired during the day and nap for you.

We had a lot of nap issues between 2 and 2.5 years old, but he returned to napping. We just kept it consistent. It was not an option to skip rest time in his room. If he stayed awake the whole time playing, fine. But lights were off, white noise was on, blackout curtains were up.

Like @Sweetiepie: we did move from a 1230pm nap to more like 1pm. Bedtime was originally 730pm but with books and yapping, it inched closer to 8pm by the time we left his room.

Now at 38 months, DS1 still naps. He goes down later - around 130pm-2pm - but he sleeps for that nap and we wake him by 430pm, if he's still asleep. He is in bed by 8pm.

Unfortunately, daycare puts the kids down by noon, so he has a hard time sleeping there 2-3 days a week. If he gets a catnap in, he's okay, but if he skips totally he's a mess and has to go to bed by 7-730pm.

Long story short, I would never give up on a nap at 2, although I realize outliers exist. I have an 18 month old now going through a regression and he's been taking 10-40 minute naps for a month and we're just pushing through. He started extending slowly out to 60-90 minute naps again at home this weekend, but is still not sleeping well at school. It happens.

I do think if you have to bail on a nap, overall sleep totals are important. At 2 years old, I would want my kids to have 13 hours of sleep in a 24 hour period at minimum. DS1 has 12-13 hours of sleep at 38 months and DS2 (when not in a regression) totals 13-14 hours.
