Help! 2.5 year old sleep

[Apple04]

My 2.5 yo DD has never been a great sleeper but has recently started waking every night at 4am. She goes to nursery 4 days and our routine was 9-7 sleep for getting up on time with a 45 min nap at nursery. She’s now awake 4-5am going back to sleep and not waking up until after 8am!! Still snoring beside me at 0830 (it’s my day off). I bring her into bed with us so we can all get more sleep. I didn’t mind this occasionally but it’s getting tiring doing it every night. Is this a phase? How do I get her to sleep through again???

She's ready to drop the nap!

Agree! Drop the nap x

Yep, no nap and earlier bedtime

Drop the nap. My 2yr old is doing 7-6:30 with no nap. Or if he does nap it’s 8-7ish.

Its a phase were going through the same atm its exhausting we've always co slept .

My 2 year and 3 month old son has dropped his nap and sleeps 7.30-7. Drop the nap.

Dropping the nap seems to be the answer. She seems to really need it sometimes though, looks exhausted by 1pm and if we go anywhere in the car she’s asleep straight away. Also, rather annoyingly nursery are very insistent that children this age still need to nap because the nursery day is so long and stimulating for them. I asked them to cap it at 30 mins but they said she was too tired after so we are now back to a 45min nap and late nights! We are going to try avoiding naps this weekend and see how we go!

Wake her up at 7am (will hopefully help her be more tired and sleep better the next night)

When my kids were waking at that time I thought they might be getting cold (they tend to kick their covers off!!!) so I put them in the older age gro bag style sleeping bags and that seemed to work.
