26 mo is refusing naps... is this a phase?

magnoliablossom · February 2009

And it only just started to happen last week. She used to go to sleep around 1:00 and get up around 3:00, but not anymore.

She will take one at dc on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but will just throw fit after fit if I try to get her to take one when we are at home. She doesn't yawn or act tired when she doesn't have one; in fact, she is more energetic and active when she doesn't.

I never had this problem with C. Could this be a phase or is she *gasp* trying to get rid of them this early?

My DD started that around 24 months. She is 33 months now and naps 2 times a week on average, and only if she gets up after 11 hours of sleep instead of 12 or more. I still put her in her room for quiet time most days.

DS is 27 months and gave up his nap last month. I can get him to lay down for about 45 minutes once or twice a week if I'm lucky. But, he sleeps better at night if he doesn't nap so I almost rather he just stay awake.

DD1 started this a few weeks ago too. Some days she goes without, but most days I can get at least an hour of quiet out of her.

Thanks ladies! At least I know I am not alone. The kind of cool thing about it is that I can get a lot more done now because I am not tip toeing around trying to be quiet while she is napping. Now I can do the dishes, laundry, get out in the yard and do something.

Got to be positive, right?
