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

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

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Rant/WWYD

My sister (youngest, 24) has two kids, 4 & 1, and i (oldest, 30) just have my one who’s 6mo old right now, so i ask her for advice or call her to vent about things sometimes. Well im tired of her turning around and telling my other family members that I’m “losing my sh*t.” Literally have not lost my sh*t nor have i ever freaked out to her about my baby, i just call her to talk and tell her what stage my baby is in or talk through how im feeling, but she chooses to tell people that im like a complete nutcase or something which worries me that my family is going to start being judgmental about me as a mother or looking at me funny like I’m some fragile ticking time bomb.

What would you do in this situation? I’m already pretty much decided that I’ll stop telling her anything about my struggles, but I’m almost at the point where i feel like it should be confronted because she, of all people, should understand what I’m going through.

Not drinking

I’m going crazy. Baby born at 2.26kg. Slow to put on weight. This last week hasn’t put on any. Been trying to feed him at night and he’s not interested at all. Fast asleep. During day he will have 5 minute gulps and that’s it. He don’t cry for milk. I’ve got to keep offering to him. I try to offer it every hour but I don’t know what I’m doing. HV said nutrition comes after 5 minutes so I should pump first and then give him. I find it so hard. I tried to pump one boob nothing came. The other abit came. Tried giving him express he’s not interested in that too. Sometimes he will go for a longer a feed but not long at all. He’s 4 months and is currently 5.46kg. I have no family or friend support here and wish I had a cook, cleaner and nanny to help with everything so I can concentrate on the little one. I don’t know what’s wrong with him but I’m loosing it. It doesn’t help that my also stressed generally about my relationship and life circumstances. Any advice that will work. Any comfort you can give. I’m fed up. Is this regression - not feeding. He’s fast fast asleep. I’ve been trying to push the nipple in but that mouth is closed shut. I took some clothes off. Changed his nappy but he’s still asleep. Please help
