What age did toddler drop all naps?

[drumst1ck]

DD is 15 months and starting to fight nap time massively. Also finding that if she has over an hour that she takes a long time to go to sleep at night (up to 2 hours). Got another baby due when she is 18 months and terrified she will have dropped all her naps by then!! I could really do with the break!

What age did your toddler drop all their naps?

First one about 2
Second one about 13 months

DS is 2 and 8 months and still has a 1.5hr nap about 4 days per week, no nap the other days.

4.3 year old still naps daily
2 year old still naps daily

DD1 at 2. Well she would have happily had a 3 hour nap every day and then gone to bed at 11.

DD2 is 17 months and I’ve found I need to wake her by 1.45 if I want her asleep by 8.

My daughter is nearly 18 months and has about an hour and a half nap a day. She has been fighting it recently but I read that is common around this age and you should still put them in their cot during nap time and leave them for some quiet time... eventually they will have a nap again :)

@Ilovesweets123 definitely going to fight to keep it for as long as I can! Thanks!

My almost 2 year old naps for 2. 5 hours 4 days a week. No nap the other 3 when at nursery.

DC1 was 3.5 and was happily still having a good hour but went from that to dropping itnentirely really quickly. DC2 isnearly 3 and naps 3-4 days a week but we have to limit it to 40 minutes for it not to affect bedtime.

First one, about 4.
Second one about 2.

3 years on the dot. She woke up 3 years and one day old and dropped her 1-1.5 hour lunch time nap. I was so sad not to have those hours (and instead have an increasingly ragged child losing her shit until bedtime).

Both were around 2.

Mine just turned 2 last week and I'm praying for at least another 6 months out of him. Those 2 hours a day are magical 😂

2.5 year old still naps daily from 1-4pm and then in bed at 7:30pm. If he fights and misses his nap, he's horrible and I can't cope. 4.5 year old DSS will still nap if we encourage him too.

Just after she turned 2 - she's now 3 and if she naps for even 5 mins I can't get her to bed before 9pm

Dr Christopher Green (of toddler taming) says there comes a point when you have to choose between the lunchtime nap and early bedtime (usually around 2-2.5 IME)

20 months. She's never been a fan of sleep, I think her longest ever nap was an hour 😴

Not until a couple of weeks before she turned 3:

The day we broke the news she was getting a baby brother or sister 😭
(2.5yo)

DC1 - 2yrs 6m
DC2 - 4yrs 3m
DC3 - 3yrs

@Ticklemynickel talk about timing!!

My toddler has hit several nap bumps but has always come through them and gone back to napping. I’d say don’t panic and give up on naps just yet, persevere. I thought ours had really gone during lockdown in March (age 2.5 yrs) but after a wobbly few weeks, he started napping again. He’s now 3 yrs old and is napping alternate days and I’ll be hanging onto them as long as I can.

My eldest was almost 3 when she dropped her nap completely, we did go through phases before then where she wouldn't nap for 2-3 days running and we thought she'd dropped it but then she'd go back to napping again.

My LO is 2 years 6 months and has decided this week to drop his naps while we are self isolating due to me having covid

I am hoping that once we are back into a normal routine after Christmas he may start napping again as he’s a terror from 5pm at the moment.

DS was around 2.9 months but i remember him fighting the lunch time nap for a while around the 18/19 month mark but I stuck with it and he went back to having it
