Question

At what age did your child stop having a daytime nap

Answer 1

my daughter is 2 1/2 and she might have a nap if we get up extra early. but most of the time we are out of the house or she's at the childminders so sometimes she goes without.

they reccommend a nap till they are 3 as it helps with their growth and development apparently.

every child is different, my daughter still wakes up crying in the night, i havent had a full night sleep since before she started kicking me when i was 16 weeks pregnant, but hey one day she'll be all grown up and il miss it!

Answer 2

3 1/2 they seemed to grow out of it.

Answer 3

my daughter stopped having naps during the day when she was two and it helped with getting her into a good routine for bed time.

Answer 4

I stopped my daughter just before she was 2 and she know goes to bed a lot earlier and stays there for 12 hours. don't know about you but I prefer the evenings to myself then a hour or 2 in the day.

Answer 5

When they were about 2 1/2.....

Answer 6

when he started kindergarten, at 3.5 - 4 yrs

Answer 7

About 2 - otherwise she was awake and I mean AWAKE until 10pm.  She has a dip around 5pm though, and we need to be careful we're not out in the car at that time or she'll sink into a deep sleep in nanoseconds!  Try being 3 months pregnant with a 2 year old singing Dancing Queen (badly) in your ear at 10 o'clock at night.

Answer 8

About 2 - and life got a lot easier as he was going to be earlier.

Good luck x

Answer 10

it was just before her 2nd birthday,she just wouldnt go down for a nap and never did after that

Answer 11

I don't know what time I stopped having an afternoon nap, but I stared again at around 20.

Give me a comfortable seat, in a warm place, following a cup of tea, between 3:00pm-4:00pm then I'll go to sleep.

...just as well all my lectures are finished before 2:00pm...

Answer 12

I think it probably depends on the kid.  My son turned 2 in April and he is just now starting to give up his nap.  He still naps on the days he has to go to the sitter because I have to wake him up early, but when he's at home he doesn't nap and goes right down to bed at 8:00p and then wakes usually around 7 or 8a.  My niece is almost 3 and is just starting to not want to nap.  My other niece naped till she was 3 also.

Answer 13

my lttle girl is 21months and she still sleeps daytime

Answer 14

About 2. He was having an afternoon nap but then started going to playgroup so he had to stop having them.

Answer 15

i'm 19 and still nap :)

Answer 16

My daughters are 4 1/2 and still nap sometimes. We have quiet time though everyday for 2 hours. It gets them some alone time and a bit of rest and it gives me some quiet time plus some time to get some things done.
