My 2yr 5mnth daughter has never been good at napping during the day. She always plays happily in her cot, eventually falling asleep at 4.00 pm which obviously isn't ideal. The problem is if she doesn't nap at all, she is too tired to eat, stroppy, tearful, and then wakes up a couple of times in the night. Although she is perfectly happy to spend most of the afternoon in her cot playing, it means we don't get to do anything in the afternoon together, and I feel guilty about leaving her playing alone. Has anybody got any ideas?
