My daughter is 25 months & over the last 3 months has gone from a fairly ok sleeper to awful. And I am struggling. She’s got all her teeth, isn’t ill, we’ve had no changes in life or routine.
Bed is 7pm & she has always been great at settling herself to sleep. Still is, falls asleep within 15 minutes and just lays there cuddling teddy until she does. She has a dummy.
Overnight, she typically wakes up for a total of two hours. Sometimes it’s one long block & sometimes it’s over multiple wake ups. Then up at 5am on the dot. So about 8 hours sleep a night.
And don’t we know it. Our daughters gone from a cheery soul to grumpy, whiny & cries a lot. She’s clearly exhausted. And would happily nap 3 hours at 9am. I don’t let her, she has 1.5 hours around 11am. Not that cutting her nap has made any difference.
But now I feel a bit lost. I know this might just be a phase but 3 months on, I really miss enjoying time with my little one. It’s now just days of crying & whinging.
Is it time to drop her nap completely? Or am I wrong in limiting it & she’s now over tired? 
Any suggestions very welcome!
