Naps - taking ages
She was 2 in November, since the day of her 2nd birthday she takes over an hour to go down for her nap. I’ve tried days with no naps and her mood is questionable and she fights going for a nap, some days she walks up there and she’s fine and some day it’s just like watching the monitor and waiting for her to fall asleep and then it eats into the afternoon and then bedtime is impacted and it’s similar takes ages to go to sleep.
What would you do?

Our little man has a 30 mins nap on nursery days (Monday through Thursday). Friday to Sunday he doesn’t often nap, unless he drifts off in car.
i cut out the nap my daughter turned 2 in october and i promise you bedtime takes 10 max 15 minutes to sleep and they are so tired they'll sleep 12 hours at night!!
Why not try for a shorter nap a bit later on? If they’re taking over an hour, are they tired enough? I do 2:30pm for our nap time and never really have to fight. If you only let them nap for 30/45 mins, it shouldn’t impact bed time too much. What time are you currently trying to put them down?
@Denisa same we did this just skipped the naps sleeps at 7
What time does she wake up for the day xx
