At 22 months my dd looked to be droping her day nap. After a few weeks it became clear she was not interested in sleeping in her cot during the day but would happily sleep in the car or buggy. So this is what we now do and it has been fine.
However now at 28 months she has started to fight this sleep sometimes and will now nod off anytime between 12 noon and 4pm depending. Very occasionally she will not nap at all. With the lack of sleep comes high emotion, quick temper and quick to cry. We have had a couple of recent episodes in an art gallery and restaurant where it has been bad and I removed her. A friend has suggested I try to use food treats as an incentive and ride out the crying but when she is this tired there is no reasoning (relatively speaking). Should I try to reinstate a set nap time or just avoid these places when she is tired or any other advice gratefully received?
Happily she is a dream at bedtime... goes down at 7pm with little fuss and rarely wakes before 6.30pm.
