Any tips for ways of coping now DS (bang on 2 years old) has decided he doesn't want a daytime nap any more? He can cope with a full day with no sleep, but I'm struggling. I've been putting him in his cot and telling him he's going to have a rest, a maybe a sleep if he wants to, then leaving him for an hour. He seems OK with this and I haven't really had any crying but he is constantly noisy, and shouts for me if he drops his toy out of the cot, so my nerves are shredded by the end of it. The 90 minutes in the middle of the day was the time I used to do housework, ironing, cooking, paperwork, email etc. How will I manage without it????
