Help- toddler doesn’t want to go to bed
Our 2 year old has about 1 & a half hour nap at 12.30 each day where I have to now take her out in the car to get her to sleep but bedtime is literally hurrendous. She will do anything to not go to bed, then when we have to put her in the cot she will have the biggest meltdown & screams and cries for so long, she gets herself in such a mess. She used to go to bed quite easily but it’s so bad now. I don’t think she is ready to drop the nap as when I tried it the other day, she fell aleeep on the sofa at 3, which then we couldn’t get her to sleep till 10! Has anyone got any tips to make bedtime easier? Thank you xx

I second reducing the nap. We went through a phase of refusing bed time then dropped the nap from 2 hours to 45 mins and it worked wonders!
Ahh thank you both! Yeah she had an hours nap at nursery today & she has gone to her very easily! So defo think I will reduce her naps at home now xxx

Reduce your nap. I would do an hour just and see how you go. My LO is 2 years old and has been on an hour for about two Months now. He was the same started to scream at bedtime. Reducing the nap sorted it out. What’s her schedule?
