When did you toddler drop their daytime nap?

[Isadora]

The past 3 days have been a struggle with DD when it comes to her arvo nap. The first day she fought & fought & eventually went down. The past two days she has carried on & not gone to sleep at all. She is in her cot as I type this, & has been talking away & yelling out to me for about an hr, I am just about to go fetch her out as she is wide awake, no chance of sleeping today. I keep her busy enough, when we have days off we go for a play at the park, toddler gym & daycare. So I am just wondering, could she be dropping her daytime nap?

She might just be going through a phase? My DS2, who is 21 months old, can go for a couple of days at a time where he will fight sleep and then go back to napping normally again.

My DS1 was 3 1/2 when he stopped his day naps

DD1 stopped having a day sleep not long after her 2nd bday. For a while I could talk her into having one if it was a special occasion (like we were going out for dinner) but I tried a couple of wks ago, and now at 2.5 she will not.
She is in bed at 6:30pm though, and will sleep till 6:30/7am so for me its worth it

Yeah we're the same as SS - DS dropped his just before he turned 2 - and now we can't get him down for one, not even if he is sick. But he goes to bed before 7pm and sleeps till usually 5.30 (on a good day - 5am on a bad day!)

He sleeps at day care though (frustratingly!!!) but usually only for an hour or something.

Hasn't happened here yet! He can go without for a few days but then has catchup sleeps for a few days hehe.

I'm certainly not willing them away either LOL. I've got them sleeping at the same time these days! woo!

As long as she sleeps through the night I guess!! hehe

she might be, Jaidan still had one until he was 3 but Chase was not even 2 when he dropped his I'm hoping Ash sleeps for a while longer, he is still having 3 so my fingers are crossed!

DD#1 - 29 months
DD#2 - 3 yrs and 2 months
DD#3 - still has daytime naps.

My DD#3 is the same age as your DD....she defn still needs a day sleep, and will often run to her cot when i say 'sleep time'. She usually sleeps for 2 hrs, always up by 4pm....and in bed again at 7pm (again, runs to her cot when we say bedtime....)
My DD#2 has only just dropped her day sleep...i reckon if i persisted really hard she would still have 1.5 hrs in the day, but with newborn and toddler, and school runs, i gave up when she started to argue with me....she will often sleep in the car on the way home though from school pick up.

I have found this year, we've had to get up at 7am to get DD#1 ready for school....last year i sometimes didnt get outta bed till 830am !!! and noticed at only 12 months, she would struggle with her day sleeps...maybe look at getting up a little earlier..?????

I've got them sleeping at the same time these days! woo!

...a major achievement in any mums book...cant wait for that day with my younger two...well done !!!
