Hi all. Just looking for some advice. My 16m tha started the last week taking ages to fall asleep at night as in 2 hours! Nothing has changed really bar lots of words coming. She naps daily from 12 30 - 2.15 (we wake at 2.15). Just wondering shoukd we start waking by 2? Or capping nap? Anytime advice greatly appreciated

Could you bring the nap earlier and shave 15 mins off? My 17 m old does 12-1.30 at the absolute latest then bed by 8. Needs a really long wake window otherwise he’ll be up for 2 hours in the night!

Thanks for replying! I can't do bedtime any earlier as she is in nursery and they do naptime after dinner

Teeth? It's always teeth. I'd try nurofen as a first measure.
