daytime naps 1yr old

[elsieanjoanne]

if any one could give me advise would be thankfull.
my dd 1 she is very active although not quite walking solo, has stopped wanting a nap she used to have two naps one at 10 and one at 2 both bout 45mins long this last week she has refused to go to sleep both nap times no matter what iv tried to get her to sleep. i wouldnt be bothered but she been going sleep 6ish then wakes up 8ish so its obvious she still needs daytime naps has anyone else had this problem if so how have you delt with it? thanx Joanne

If she's sleeping for 14hrs at night she may well be managing through the day without a nap...Does she ever fall asleep in her pushchair?

A lot of 1yr olds drop the morning nap at around 1yr...I'd try putting her down for a nap around 12:30/1pm as waiting until 2pm may be too late...Hope that helps.

thanx, she has been waking 2.30-3 in morning an its killing me! as she awake at least two hours! she has just gone asleep thats thee first time this week hopefully she will sleep through at bed time having a earlier nap.
sorry wasnt quite clear she goes sleep6pm wakes 8pm then goes back to sleep after fighting it 11-12pm an its killing me, thankyou for your help

Sorry, I misunderstood & thought you meant 6pm-8am!...I'd see how she goes with an earlier nap, really whatever suits you.

I'd see if the slightly earlier lunch-time nap works at all before losing hope!...You could also try putting her down a little bit later in the evening as 6pm is a little bit early...Good luck.
