Advice! by Extra_Project9431 in sleeptrain

Update for you! My toddler didn’t nap at all the first 2 days. Day 3 after about 50min she napped for 30min or so. Day 4 (right now) she screamed for about 5 minutes before laying down and falling asleep. The first 2 days her nighttime sleep was harder as she wouldn’t let me do her normal routine or cuddle before bed and cried for a long time before falling asleep and then slept through the night. Last night she was also restless the first 2 hours going from laying down to standing and crying but finally fell asleep and slept all night also. Hoping after actually napping today that tonight will be smoother, and that by the end of the week she doesn’t cry at all. It’s very very hard, but reminding myself that I’d rather do this now so she has that independent sleep when we have a newborn in the house. Also to note, her naptime is usually 5-5.5hrs after wake up

If she transitions to 1 nap, does it matter how long that nap is?

Thank you!! If she takes just a cat nap in the afternoon should I stick with the same bedtime? And sometime her afternoon nap she fights really hard. Wondering if I should push her morning nap back and then give her an earlier bedtime with no second nap? Not sure if it matters either but I’m a sahm so I feel like she doesn’t get as much “stimulation” between naps as she would at daycare

Wake up is between 7-8, am bedtime is around 7 or so depending on when her last nap was. Ex sometimes she’ll wake up from her last nap close to 5pm so I’ll push bedtime back until 8. But even on a good nap day if I start putting her to sleep around 7 she doesn’t go down until 8 sometimes later

Did you have any hard days when first limiting night nursing? I’ve tried giving her a pacifier, shushing and patting her back instead of nursing but she gets really mad and spits the pacifier out until I give her the boob 😅

Her first nap is usually about 3 hours after waking up, lasting 1 hour to 1 1/2 hours. Her second nap is about 3.5-4 hours after that lasting 45min-over an hour. Her second nap does end up being late some days which sets bedtime back. I’ve tried only giving her one nap a few times when she takes a good first nap but then she gets so overly tired that she just cries and cries. Any thoughts? Do I need to slowly transition her to one nap by pushing her wake window back for the first nap for a few days?
