Anyone's kids dropped their naps but then picked it up again?

Mine has always slept for 2-3 hrs over lunch, then suddenly refuses to nap even if for just 15mins. She is so tired by 5pm or sooner. I'm praying her naps will return as I need those 2 hrs time out and can't handle her bedtime meltdowns due to her tiredness. Comment below please. And if they did take it back up, how did you do it? Or how can I reinforce it?

Sounds about right though, almost 3 probably don’t always need it’s depends on how stimulated they are in the mornings. If she don’t nap I’d put her to bed by 6-6.30 nice evening for you. X

@Amy same here, mine sometimes does and sometimes doesn't depending on the morning. The days he doesn't is fine because he goes to bed earlier and wakes up later.. I know not everyone is that lucky though!

We had about a month where he wouldn't nap at all and then one day he just looked really tired so I offered one and he napped and just went back to napping from there. I still offered every day during the not napping phase just in case.

My little boy doesn’t nap anymore and hasn’t for ages (as he stays up until 9pm plus if he naps) But no nap means 6pm ish bedtime !

My oldest doesn't nap anymore. He stopped napping a few months ago. We found it was disturbing his sleep. He's awake 7-7 with no issues

My boy refuses to nap now even at nursery but then gets tired and ratty, so sometimes if he hasn't slept well the night before or looks like he needs a nap ill take him for a drive at that time and he'll fall asleep nearly straight away. He generally sleeps from 7.30pm until about 7am without one though
