Toddler nap disaster! Help

[croquet]

Help! 1.5 year old accidentally had a 3 hour lunchtime nap today! I usually put her to bed at 7-7.30ish but no way will she go down then now. What time should I try? Does anyone else's baby have such a long nap?!

Yes! But she still manages to go down at seven. DD is 2.3 amd regularly has 2.5/3hr naps.

Can you maybe take her swimming at teatime - that usually zonks them.

I've never taken her swimming except on holiday - we're not really set up for it. But we're taking her to park now and will chase her round. Amazing that yours still goes down at 7 - you're a lucky lady.

I fear I'll still be up with mine at 9 or something. I even made her have NO nap yesterday to try and get her to sleep better at night.

my 2 year old often sleeps for 3 hours and I dont worry about it,.....just keep him up a bit later if he doesnt look tired, he has done this since he was about 14/15 months and it has never had that much impact on his night time- possibly a half hour or hour later to bed but that doesnt bother me.....

Good luck! If my 15mo DTS had 3 hours we'd be looking at 10pm. He is a machine though. He only sleeps max 10 hours overnight. No more. Ever.

How did it go? I have to wake mine after an hour these days or bedtime takes for ever. Boo.

Sleep begets sleep is what I say!

DS1 used to have 3 hour naps until he was almost 3 and still went to bed at 8pm.

Never makes a difference to my dd. Still goes to bed at 7 but might chat to herself for a bit longer if very long nap. What if you just put her down as usual?

Hi ladies! She went to sleep fairly cheerfully at 8. Fingers crossed.

Bedtime was, as it always is, a long sequence of intricate rituals.

... and woke up at 1am and then finally at 5am. Agagahahahahah!
