No nap
Our girl didn’t nap yesterday and she refused to go down so I didn’t persevere as the clocks changing and a late nap was not on my Mother’s Day list 😂. We had a very busy day so she didn’t miss it at all and then slept through the night, SHE HAS NEVER DONE THAT BEFORE!!
Anyone else’s not napping anymore? We have another busy day so might try again with no nap! Just not sure if it’s good from a developmental standpoint?!

Our son dropped his nap at home (still does the communal nap at nursery!) a few months ago. He's never slept much in the daytime though so I think it's just the say some children are. As long as they are getting enough sleep across a 24 hour period then it won't do any harm. My Mum is insistent that her HV used to tell her a baby who was awake a lot in the daytime was a sign of high intelligence although I suspect she is a little bit biased 😂

It's generally considered early to drop the nap completely at this age but it's not abnormal or unheard of. Some kids are just ready earlier/have lower sleep needs. As long as she's definitely ready for it then it won't be harmful developmentally.
