2yo stopped nap and early wakes

[TheKookySquid]

In that last few weeks my 2.2 year old (who has always slept and napped well) suddenly stopped settling for her lunchtime nap (usually two hours) and is waking and hour or so earlier than usual. Has anyone experienced this? Does she just suddenly need much less sleep now?

In my experience mine all went through a similar phase of needing more support to go and to stay asleep at different times during toddlerhood. They've all reached a point where friends have just let the nap go but because of having small age gaps and multiple little ones at home (SAHM) naps have been a saviour! So I persisted and found that going out in double pushchair/carrier and or the car helped to keep the nap for another 2 years!
