She’s always slept independently and self settled to sleep for naps and nighttime. Two weeks ago she started refusing naps. She gets up around 7:30am and will refuse any nap before lunch no matter what time I try. She’s rolling, standing, staring blankly, crying, screaming, throwing dummy out and does the same if I hold her she doesn’t want me or her dad at these times. It’s been around 5-6 days now of this period and when she does nap it’s never long enough. Yesterday she refused morning nap went down no problem at 1pm slept until 1:45 and refused any other naps. Bed at 7 and straight asleep independently but then woke at 11 needed a cuddle and Calpol and settled at 12:30 slept until 7:40. Tried for her nap at 9:40, 10:30 and she’s just settled for a nap now at 12pm but I don’t imagine she will sleep long.
I don’t understand what this is. She has two bottom teeth and four top teeth. Seems to have teething symptoms but is fine when up and in the day apart from trying to bite everything. I’ve tried leaving her to cry. Leaving her for 10 minutes, 15 minutes but she doesn’t sleep. I’ve had days where it’s been two hours of her just rolling and staring and I’ve ended up getting her up. When she had slept for a nap it’s been 20-40 minutes. She’s cranky sometimes other times she copes quite well. Do I just stop trying her for morning nap? I did this two weeks ago and she started fighting bedtime and it would take at least 3 hours to get her asleep for bed. Then she kinda fell back in falling asleep independently and having two good naps a day with perfect bedtimes sleeping through 12 hours. I feel 12pm is too early for her morning nap if it’s going to be her only nap of the day. She was exhausted last time I tried just one nap and things got worse until she cooperated with two naps. I’m fighting with her to try and get her to nap at least three times a day because her naps are so short and then sometimes she’s up at night.
What the holy hell do I do?
