Any clues? How do you know when is the right time to drop naps? DS has just turned 2 and currently sleeps for 2 hrs from 12.30 - 2.30pm. I wake him if he sleeps past this.
He goes down really quickly and is tired before he sleeps BUT we are having very early mornings. He has always been an early riser (6am) but it is now regularly 5.30am or a bit earlier. We pushed his bedtime out to 7.15pm from 6.45pm but this hasn't made any difference to the am wake-up. He sometimes takes a while to settle at night but is always asleep by 8pm and generally sleeps through.
I always thought that when he was ready to drop the nap he just wouldn't sleep or wouldn't settle at night. My gut feeling is he still needs the nap but the early mornings are a real PITA
I am also very attached to his naptime as it is the only downtime I get and I really need it at the mo being 30 weeks with baby no 2.
I've tried leaving him in his cot when he wakes but he gets so distressed and hyperventilates etc that I end up getting him after about 2 minutes. I guess I am just asking for other peoples opinions to either reassure me he isn't ready to drop it or to give me a kick up the bum and tell me to drop his nap
Sorry, turned into a long post - hope it makes sense and TIA
When to drop naps?
