Help please!! What do I do with today’s schedule?!

So my son was awake 3-6am and woke up at 8am. He then refused his nap and had some quiet down time in his room. What time do I put him down to bed? Usually he wakes around 6am, naps 12pm for approx 1.5hours and bed around 7:30-8pm. I have no idea what to do today and this has never happened! Is this a regression?!

My son skipped his nap on Wednesday and I just put him to bed around 45 mins earlier than normal. Just see how he goes and how tired he seems x

@Sarah thanks so much! Will give that a go x

I would have considered his time that he slept after 6am a nap. He might need a catch up nap 5 and half hours later or 5 hrs later, but that really pushes his schedule back. It might take a day or two to adjust. Try putting him down at 1-1:30 and get him up by 2:30 (short nap) and put him down around 8ish.

@Jadie I tried but he didn’t nap unfortunately, now he’s wide awake happy playing etc so I’m thinking to push him to early dinner and bedtime around 6:30/7? But that means tonight and tomorrow will be even worse!

If it were me I’d probably aim for around 7 bed. Even though he skipped his nap he did wake up later so I wouldn’t go crazy early with bed

@Kayleigh that’s what I done I took him up around 6:15 he was getting tired and cranky. Then we went into a huge long tantrum and he fell asleep by 7. Then woke up in another tantrum and settled back down not long ago. It’s going to be a long night 😩

Oh dear! I had this too with my little girl a couple of weeks ago where she decided to skip her nap for the first time ever! Hopefully it’s not too bad for you x
