18 month old baby's nap?

hi there my little girl is 18 months old on the 17th of march and she is just the same but she also doesnt go to bed til around 9pm and wakes at 9am she refuses her day time nap which is usually at 2pm i think with children at that age there is just way too much fun things around is he walking? if so he wont want to get off his feet he is learning new exciting things every single day and he just doesnt want to stop for no one lol. So long has he is having 10 - 12 hours sleep at night there really is no need for him to have a nap during the day. http://www.netdoctor.co.uk/health_advice/facts/chi...

hope this helps

thats eaxactly how my son was i ended up having to get him on a new schedule i woke him up at 7 we played very hard all day i kept him very active and then he woulod crash at 12 and sleep till 230 then that caused a problem for bedtime he wanted to stay up so late so now he gets up about 7 or 730 then he takes a nap 1230 till 1 or 115 and bedtime at 830 or 9 but i found that a 30 min no longer than 45 min nap was best for him some people told me some kids just cut out a nap completely but if he is getting tired about 630 then he probably needs one not a 2 hr one but a shorter one like my son but keep him active closer to night time dont let him just lounge around or he wont be worn out enough lol

When I was breaking my daughter from her paci, the hardest was at night time. She had to have it to go to sleep. I would try to rock her to sleep and then put her in her bed. Do this for a little while. I know you are probably thinking this is too old to rock to sleep, but its what worked for me. My daughter was 12 months when I took the paci from her. You could even try putting her to bed without it and letting her cry for a little bit. Once she falls asleep you could also take it out of her mouth so she isn't just sucking on it constantly. This may help a bit. When I was trying to get my daughter to sleep in her bed without me getting her to sleep first, I would try to not let her take her evening nap. Then when she went to bed she would be so tired she would go to sleep after about minutes of crying. Now she is 14 months and I just lay her there and she rolls over on her side and goes to sleep without a fuss. Just things I did and some suggestions. Good luck!

He still needs his nap. Try reading this book called baby wise its really good and give you tricks on how to help them take naps. Anyways just lay him down and if he doesn't go to sleep that means his not tired but don't let him get up he can just lay there. He is still pretty young and doesn't understand that he needs his rest. Also try a lullaby. Or maybe giving him a bath and soothing him to sleep. What ever works just keep it as a routine.

My daughter stopped napping when she was like 15 months old. Kids are different and have different sleep needs, just make sure that he gets plenty of rest at night.

I say he is growing up and might not require as much sleep now. Instead of actually sleeping have quiet time where you can lay with him during they day and read a couple of books to him or something. I hate it when our babies grow up. I think it is perfectly normal.
