I am extremely envious of mummies who have kids that sleep without much fuss when it comes to naptime and bedtime.
Sofia has been fighting against her naptime recently and it could be a long long 1.5hrs battle with her before she dozes off. Naps are very important for toddlers this age as they are still very young and needs approximately 12 hours of sleep in total everyday. If Sofia does not nap, she will be very cranky and snappy by 5pm, feeding her dinner would take enormous efforts. She will then hit the bed early, by 7pm BUT the problem is she does not sleep through till 8am in the morning. She will wake up at some wee hours and ask for her sleep deprived Mummy, toss and turn, talk to herself, for two hours before dozing off again.
We have tried all sorts of ways and methods to encourage her to nap but none seems to work. Is this a growth spurt? We are not sure but hope this will be a passing phase and she will take naps like all other toddlers soon.
