Hi there!! Really hope you can help
My 13 month old has just dropped from 2 naps to 1. She was having a little 20-30 mins nap around 9 ish and then a good afternoon nap around 1 ish for approx 2 hours.
However, she started taking so long to go off for her afternoon nap that I thought maybe best to try transition her to the one nap ( by dropping the morning one)
However, I’m beginning to think maybe I have done this too soon and perhaps she’s not ready?!
She is very tired in the morning trying to stretch her out but then she usually goes down for the afternoon nap now and has a solid 2-2 1/2 hours. I thought this was great as she’s having the one nap now and it’s usually guaranteed she will sleep well for it.
But now, as the title of the thread says, she is often struggling to go off at night. Has her bottle then sings for a bit, can hear her moving on the monitor , then turns to crying. Really beside herself. I go in and settle her, come out. It can sometimes take an hour or longer for her to then settle. It’s really stressful as also her room next to my older daughter
I just don’t kno what to do.
I just want her to get enough sleep and be content
I really hope someone sees this and has some advice for me - it will be much appreciated
Thank you in advance xxx
