DD dropped her naps a few months ago. I give her quiet time each day, which lasts about 30 minutes before she come out of her room and plays quietly by me. I am OK with this BUT I think she needs to nap. She yawns a lot, says she is tired but she WONT sleep. Should I move her bedtime? I try to put her down at 7 vs usual bedtime of 8 but she just plays in her bed.
She has begun falling asleep in the car which she NEVER did. She sleeps from 8-6. I just don't think it is enough. Any ideas?
