20 month old giving up naps?

My lo just turned 20 months and no longer wants to nap. He sleeps from 8-6:30/7. We do lots of activity during the day but he doesn't want to nap anymore. If we are in the car he'll fall asleep otherwise nope. Is this normal?   Mamas loosing her mind. I don't get home from work until 1 am cant fall asleep until 2 and could really use that nap. Plus I get nothing done all day.

Also as soon as I put him in his bed he starts crying and screaming and throwing things so no quiet time in bed possible either

Thanks. I hope it just an off week. He needs me constantly as soon as he's awake it's pick me up and go. The only downtime I have is when I'm nursing him. When I try to do housework he follows me around crying. I work evenings so its not like I rest/clean when he goes to bed. It's hard to hear of others whose kids still nap 3 hrs a day and sleep the same or more at night and are older

Oh and his nighttime sleep got shorter so that didn't work in my favour either. He gets between 10-11 hrs at night.

My daughter is doing this too. Makes me wanna cry lol. She's a twin, her bro still needs his nap but she only has one every few days. I put her down anyway cause there is stuff I need to get done while they aren't around! It is nice to get her to bed earlier though!

Answer

My daughter did and hasn't since...she is 8 now. I'm glad she did because her brother whom is a year younger absolutely always needs one, and if he didn't have one he was impossible to deal with lol

Answer

Girl be happy lol. I would do anything for my kids to not nap during the day. My 3 year old doesn't nap during the day anymore and I'm soooooo glad because then she won't sleep at night. On the other hand... My son takes about 3 naps a day and will not sleep the whole night unless I out him to bed at 12 at night. Anything before that, he'll wake up in the middle of the night.

Answer

I thought my 2.5 year old was stopping her nap a month or so ago, but it was just an off week.  Have them keep taking quiet time in their bed if you can and they might fall asleep.

Answer

My 20 month old gave up naps for 3 days but then got back in the habit again. It scared me. Lol. We try to tire her out in the first part of the day. She sleeps from 9pm - 8 am and then naps around 1-3. If she skips a nap, we put her to bed around 7:30-8.

Answer

My daughter is doin the same thing! She is 18 mths old and for the past few weeks is a hassle just to get her to take her daily nap, which most of the time goes without one. Its very frustrating, especially when that is ur only 'you' time and time to relax. I guess theyre just afriad theyre goin to miss something.
