Absolutely shattered since starting to walk more

This week my daughter has started really properly walking, like toddling from room to room rather than just walking from the couch to the chair for example. Shes absolutely SHATTERED! Is this common? She slept from 8.20pm til 8.30am yesterday (shock of my life lol), then 2 hour nap I had to wake her from, slept all night til 7.45am and shes napping now already since 10.30am…. Normally she would be staying up til 12/12.30pm. Have you had to add back in a cat nap? Curious if you found this too! Im not complaining to be fair but I still live in fear of split nights if she sleeps too much, I dont want to go back 😂

Normal 🙂 also my little boy - who has been walking since 10-11 months - has started wanting a much earlier nap in the past week so could be developmental too.

I was wondering if it was a common thing to go back to two naps. My first never did this. But the past few weeks she has needed a morning nap too.

Yes! We find this… some days we do have to do two naps again… it must be a lot of energy & concentration all the walking! 🤍✨ it doesn’t effect night time sleep - well it didn’t for us. Usually if two I’ll do a wee morning hour & then her bigger one in afternoon. Xxxx

Yes so sounds similar for you guys as well, thank you so much! 🙏🏻 I woke her after 1.5 hours today and told my mum she can have a short second nap later today if needed, hopefully doesnt impact anything x

Some days we have two naps as we’re out in the car etc and it has no effect on the night so fingers crossed for you! X

Lol we have never not had a split night ha ha. I do think this is normal though. My LO has been going down much earlier as she has been waking at 5am because of her teeth. Our LO can still wake 3 to 4 times a night (just for a cuddle).
