DD is 17, almost 18 months and today marks the 5th day in a row she hasn't napped in the day. She sleeps between 12-14 hours straight at night so I feel like I shouldn't really complain, but I admit I will miss getting a bit of peace in the day! Grin

Is it possible she's dropped all naps already? Or is it just a phase? It seems a little young to stop napping! hopes it's just a phase

I thought that mine stopped napping around that age but I think it was just a phase / growth spurt and she is back into them now at 22 months. A couple of hours after lunch and then 11-12 hours at night.

Hey! For a shiny light of home that you might get your peace back during the day...I am fairly certain this is the 18m sleep regression! Mine had it a little early at 17m. Loads of nap refusal and I just thought well this is it now...but turns out it was a phase that lasted a couple weeks then his sleep returned again! My advice would be to keep offering the nap even if it just ends up being quiet time. If it goes for say a month and she still isn't napping then that may be a permanent change given she's such a good night sleeper but my understanding is that at her age they do tend to need a nap still until around 3,to so she'd be v early. Having said that all kids are different and maybe she fills up enough at night!

I have had to drive mine in the car for a nap most days since a similar age. She is 29MO now and still nowhere near dropping the nap as if she does she crashes in the mid afternoon so driving her out was our only option.
