Long story, short... We though DD was dropping her nap completely, because she would be awake until 11 or so at night if she took one. Apparently that was a phase, because we've found out she still needs one. She's basically miserable without a nap. She currently naps between 1.5 and 3 hours a day beginning at 12:30. She goes down fine in her crib and hardly fusses, but it's now taking her up to two hours to fall asleep on her own at night. Is it normal for her to need that much time to wind down? I'm wondering if her nap is too long and if we need to start waking her up from it or if I should just let her sleep. She's put in her crib at 8 and wakes up at about 6:45.
It's not a problem for us that it takes her that long to fall asleep, I just want to make sure she's getting enough sleep.
