Late nap, late bedtime
Show your support
We’ve been dealing with this for a year with sometimes a nap but often no nap. Occasionally this messes everything up but we got really good at keeping her awake and giving her a bath if she’s about to fall asleep early 😂 so it does resolve itself but you might have to be proactive if it’s too close to bedtime.
I put my little girl down by 4:30 or 5:30 if she does not take a nap and let her sleep through the night. She will still wake up close to 6:30 or 7 in the morning.
Try waking at the same time every day. Letting him sleep in is just getting you stuck in this cycle.
Same boat with mine
Ugh same most days no nap, grumpy by 2, then get her second wind and up until 10 ish or later 😩
@Danielle omg, how do you do it, if mine falls asleep at 4:30-5:30 she’ll just wake by 8/9 and be ready to go again, she won’t sleep until like midnight then 🫠
I have been nursing her since she was a baby so, when she wakes, I just nurse her back to sleep. Or I rub her back and then she is back down. Sometimes she wakes up for a little while and I will say are you hungry or thirsty? If she is we eat but I remind her it is not playtime. So lights stay out. After she eats we lay back down.
@Danielle I am currently tandem nursing her and my 3 month old but plan on cutting my toddler off at 3 years because it’s a lot, she is also used to nursing for sleep which at times is hard with an infant who nurses more often 🥲 hopefully we can get past this.
Oh wow. I am weaning her two too. I try to offer her milk 3 times a day only right now but since she has dropped her midday nap I may just nurse her twice a day or drop it to once a day.
We are going through the exact situation. My almost 3 year old fell asleep on the couch for an hour 4-5pm. I’m not worried about it, it will resolve itself.
