I wouldn’t say that’s too early. As it would be 12.5 hours sleep a night which is about right. On nursery days when my girl is tired she can go down about 6.30 and is up at 6.30 too. It might also be he is still adjusting to not having a nap so he might get more used to it and you might be able to push bedtime a bit later if needed. I remember those first few weeks when my girl dropped her nap and the late afternoons were the worst! She was so tired and grumpy but it does get better x
@Letitia me too!!
@Letitia yes I tried that but then when it did work, he didn’t go to sleep until gone 4, so didn’t fall asleep at night till nearly 9 and was still up at 6.30. He does better with only a 10 minute recharge but it took over an hour of random driving for that.
We’ve been in the Same Situation, and I thought 6 is too early. But I did it and most days I get her down at 6, sometimes a bit later. And now she sleeps longer than she did before with a nap and 7pm bedtime. Usually wakes by 7:30ish (if we’re lucky she sleeps till 8) now and seems in a much better mood. Was the right thing for us. Good luck to you. Remember it might take a few days of new routine to settle in. X
6 is fine, we had to do this when we first transitioned to no naps. We still have the occasional day where he goes to bed between 5:30pm and 6:30pm. But usually it’s between 6:30pm and 7pm. No matter what he’s up around 6-6:30am anyway! X
Sorry I don’t know the answer but have you tried to go out in the car to get him to nap? That’s the only way I can get my boy to nap!
