Need advice from those who have btdt. Dc (2.75 yo) needs to drop or change nap for preschool which goes 12:30-3pm. Fights naps anyway and sometimes won't fall asleep until 2/3pm anyway and nights become really late. But since I tried dropping the nap altogether has been a crankpot and prone to tantrums (not previously frequent), but nights are very early (11 hrs of sleep). I have also tried giving in to a nap at 3pm for 45-60 min but that hasn't helped the tantrums and crankiness. Anyone have a good solution or do I just have to ride out the crankiness until the new schedule becomes routine? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

between 6:30-7:30, and there's no way he'll go to sleep at 11am...with the same wake up time he wouldn't nap until somewhere between 1:30 and 2:30. [ Reply | More
