Bedtime help

My 2.5 year old is going through a period where it’s taking her about an hour and a half once being put to bed to actually fall asleep. She has about a 45 minute nap in the day currently as well. By the time she falls asleep it’s nearly 9pm and then she’s awake by 6:30am. She is also waking once or twice In the night too. Has anyone got any advice or maybe something different to try! 🙏

She might be starting to transition to dropping the daytime nap! What time is her nap during the day? X

@Gemma normally it’s at about 1pm and is no longer than an hour x

Have you tried capping the nap and seeing if that helps to build some more sleep pressure? X

@Gemma I think I’m going to try and bring the nap forward today and maybe only let her have 30 mins and see if that helps x

Definitely worth a try :) Let me know! X

I wouldn't cap the nap but I would bring it forward. Sounds like baby wants about 7 hours of awake time before bed. My daughter at the same age woke at half 6, napped 11.30-1 then bed at 7/7.30.
