Hi Allison! I’m in the same boat! Any info on what you ended up doing and how it went??

Hi @Cheryl –
Thank you for writing to us! It sounds like you may have found a good solution to your daughter’s naps, in the 30 minute naps! If those are working best for you, she sleeps better at night and falls asleep readily, then keeping the naps in her schedule, but waking her before the nap gets too long may be the right fit for you for now! Thanks for reading and we hope that things go well!

Hi Sadhana,
Thank you so much for checking out The Baby Sleep Site! I’m sorry to hear you’re having such trouble with napping. It’s hard to know what exactly is going on with your daughter’s naps without more information. It could be a sleep association, scheduling issue, or something else. If you haven’t yet, you might like to sign up for our free toddler ebook: https://www.babysleepsite.com/toddler-sleep-training-secrets-free-ebook/
Or, if you’re a BSS Member, please do check out one of weekly chats with a senior sleep consultant – she could definitely help you out! Good luck!

Hi @Kate –
Thanks for writing to us! Sorry to hear about your nap struggles with your toddler! If she seems to really still need that nap, then do still offer it! On days where she does not fall asleep, you can always offer an early bedtime! I’d recommend a really solid and calming nap routine, and to be sure that she’s on a good overall schedule too. Here’s a link to our free sample schedules for toddlers:

Good luck and please contact us if you need more help at any time!

Hi @Tara – Thank you for writing to us about your (almost) 3 year old’s sleep! So sorry to hear that he’s waking SO early! We know how tough this can be and early wakings can be tricky to figure out! If he is not showing other signs of being ready to drop his nap, you can likely keep that nap and keep trying to get him back to sleep when he wakes so very early!
Based on what you’ve shared, I’d like to recommend our VIP Members Area, which gives you access to all of our e-Books as well as audio tele-seminar recordings, case studies, and do-it-yourself tutorials, including a workbook designed to help you create your own sleep plan. My favorite feature is the access to our weekly “members only” expert chat sessions, where one of our sleep consultants will answer your specific questions live via chatroom! I think that this would be especially helpful, so that you can share more about your son and one of our sleep consultants can advise!! You can also write a message on any of the pages within the VIP Area, and a Sleep Consultant will reply there too!
