Obsessed with naps

[MamaStew]

Hi all.
My LO is 14 months old and I've always obsessed a little over her naps. She used to fight it so much from about 3 months until I realised she was happier falling asleep by herself. We are still on 2 naps atm, usually 30/40 mins mid morn and then 1.5 hours mid afternoon and I find myself constantly thinking about how to work it around our day to day. I think Lockdown hasn't helped as we've made a routine and I guess when it starts to lift - I worry about days away from home. She will take short naps in the pram/car etc. I know on these days she can just have an earlier bedtime but please tell me this constant worry about " will she nap?" "How will she nap?" "What if she doesn't nap" will stop soon?? I'm doing my own head in & wish I was more laid back with it all. 😞😞

Hope you understand what I mean - I just wish I could just go with the flow xx

I know where you're coming from.
I am a long time past naps ( now thinking about them for me), but I remember when my youngest cut out daytime naps- what a relief!!
All of a sudden the day is open to anything! No clock watching.

Working your day around naps is just what parenting is all about. Never has the saying "Welcome to parenting" been more apt - working life around naps is what life with a baby/toddler is all about.

Worth remembering that your child will be your child for many, many years. Don't rush and wish away the toddler years. In time to come (it will be here quicker than you realise) you won't need to consider naps and you'll have much more time to do more and then you'll have another child and be tied to naptimes all over again
