When is a good time to drop the daytime naps for toddlers? I know all kids are different I just wanna hear opinions! He is clearly not sleepy at bedtime and it is a battle every night! My son will be 3 in July 😘

I still make my 4 year old take a nap when I put my youngest down to nap.

I think as long as they'll take a nap, let them. I remember my mom trying to keep it going in grade k

@kissesz30, that makes a lot of sense I still make my two year old take a nap everyday mainly because he is so active and I don’t want him to get overtired and cranky

I had to stop naps at 2 bc she was not sleeping through the night like was getting up 5 or more times. Now she is 2 1/2 and does good at night every once in a while she falls asleep for a short 30 min nap but not hardly ever.. Hope this helps

@cbrebelkat, but he has a hard time falling sleep at night tho

@aliciabrewer59, same here my son has a hard time falling to sleep at night but once he falls asleep he is good all night but it’s the falling asleep part that has become a battle

@tyshai like u said, all are different. When mine has a hard time falling asleep at night, I try to wake him up earlier the next day

@tyshai mabey try shorter earlier naps? And before bed every night get a routine going dinner bath and then read a book to calm before sleep that's what I tried then when that didn't work I started keeping her up thru nap except like one or two days during the week when I could tell she was overly tired.. I feel for ya mama its tough but man they grow out of it so fast I swear!
Tyshai James 😍😘😍😘·
@aliciabrewer59, yeah he takes early naps imma cut the naps back to a hour or maybe shorter and I’ll try the bath tonight
Tyshai James 😍😘😍😘·
@aliciabrewer59, I’m so exhausted right now

@tyshai yea the calm bath helps they even make bath stuff for babies at Walmart that's for night time it really works for settling them down and I love the smell its in baby section by diapers I do believe in a light purple or blue bottle.. I hope it helps and yes I would def cut back on how long of nap I did to 30 min to 45! Good luck and if you need anything I'm here to listen...

@tyshai I bet its draining on the mama bear... Keep your chin up there is definitely light at the end of the tunnel just takes time and figuring out each kid lol

Tyshai James 😍😘😍😘·
@preciouslove, he goes at 2:30 and sleeps until about 5:30 imma cut his nap back today
Angela·
