Little one is almost 3 years old, almost every night she wakes maybe once or twice. Bedtime is always a battle to get her to bed. Wondering if maybe it's time to drop her day time nap and replace with quiet time? She naps usually from 12/12:30 to 1:30/2pm, and bedtime seems to drag on or we get her to bed in her room at 7:30 or 8 and then she is up early at 5:30/5:45. I have a sneaking suspicion that the nap has got to go. I have 36 weeks pregnant and have another little one on the way so would like to get this under wraps now before the baby comes. We usually do bath, a little tv time, book, song and bed. It also seems like she is stalling at bedtime always asking for more songs and more books. PLEASE HELP ME!!!!

Definitelly seems to be 1-0 transition Honey, just went there with my dear son:) and also was pregnant with DS2!
Have you ever capped nap or tried a NND (no-nap-day)?How you LO copes with being OT? Do you think capping the nap is something she would accept? Could you drag her from napping at all?

Okay perfect, we have gone a few days without nap time and she has been ok. Today I will try and see how she makes out. If she does happen to fall alseep I will wake her at after 30 mins. Last night she woke a few times and finally woke at 7am... but wouldn't settle until 9:30pm ughhhhh. I will try to substitute nap time for just quiet time and hope for the best.

Thanks for the support, I feel like I am going crazy !! I will let you know how she makes out tonight!
