Feel like im doing a really shit job at the moment.

DD has started refusing her morning nap. She generally wakes up between 6 and 7 but fights her morning nap. I normally end up having to go somewhere (DP wfh) so she sleeps in the car.

Then in the afternoon it’s the same. Might get half an hour. That’s it for the day.

If she goes to bed early she just wakes up constantly. If she goes to bed later she’s not too bad. But she must be exhausted!

Can anyone help … not sure where im going wrong.

Don't keep her up too late. Put her to bed at a reasonable time (imo before 8/9pm) and work on getting her to settle back to sleep if she wakes up. What do you do if/when she wakes in the evening?

I'd make it as boring as possible, no talking, just lay back down, say good night, and leave. repeat as necessary.

That’s what I try to do, but she just keeps waking up and throughout the night as well, which gets pretty stressful.
