My pedi told me today...

that a lot of kids start giving up their naps around 2 when I told him DS was not napping well. I nearly cried. I am not ready to lose naptime and DS doesn't get the concept of quiet/rest time in your room yet.

i think only a small amount of kids do it right around 2. i think most kids between 2.5-3. DS dropped around 2.5 or so.

Don't panic yet. DD went on a nap strike at 2. It lasted for about a month. And now she's still napping about 2 hours in the afternoon.

Yikes! I am not ready either! DD still takes a 3 hour nap everyday so I doubt she is anywhere near that.

My DD has been getting by this week with 45 minutes to an hour. She is so hard to get down at night if she nas longer though.

DD dropped her nap last month. ?When I realized it was not a phase I sat on her bed and cried

?She refuses quiet time in her room so we had to come up with a new routine. ?After I put the baby to bed we go into our basement and watch a movie. ?She rests while watching and I can rest too. ?It was really hard for about 2 weeks but now we are in the swing of things. ?It amazes me she can make it through the day without a nap but she just isn't tired. ?Some of my friends have 4 year olds taking naps, I am so jealous

My kids are 2 years and 8 months - DD naps for about an hour, DS naps for over an hour almost 2 hrs.

My DD started fighting her nap right when she turned 2.

Now we have "rest time." A light in her room is on a timer. When the light goes out, rest time is over. She really understands it (though we didn't start it until a few weeks ago.)

ahhh!!! no!!!

our daycare has naps up to kindergarten so hopefully he'll stay in the habit!

Ben will be 3 in June, and he's no where near ready to give up the nap. I hope he naps for a while longer too.

DD naps only some of the times (yea usually on her term, lol) but if she doesn't nap she is ready for bed by 7:30, otherwise if she naps she is up until 9:30 or 10:00. I still haven't decided which way I like better. lol

Here is some hope for you...My niece will be 3 in April, and she's not even close to giving up her nap yet. She's gone through a couple of phases where she fights it for a few weeks, but then she goes right back to telling YOU that she needs to go to bed and will then proceed to put herself down for a nap. Maybe your DS is just going through a phase and will come back around to the idea.

DS is still napping like a champ. This weekend (sat) he napped for 2hrs and 40 mins.(And he sleeps 9-10hrs a night) On a normal day he'll nap for at least 1hr.

DS actually is taking 3-4 hour naps. I asked the pedi if that was normal last week at his 2 year appointment and he said it was. But everyone seems like their 2 year old is dropping naps!

trizzie · February 2010

You guys are giving me some hope! He has never been a fantastic napper, but he is so active he needs the break. I definitely need it!!!

Keeping my fingers crossed this is a phase!
