Is your toddler having early morning wakings? Ask yourself:ĭoes your toddler or preschooler take more than 30 minutes to fall asleep at bedtime?Īre they taking more than 30 minutes to fall asleep at nap or refusing to nap? If you think keeping a nap is negatively affecting night sleep for your little one, it may be time to drop your toddler’s nap from their sleep schedule. I find most toddlers do best with maintaining that nap until they’re about 4 years old.
Current research shows that less than 2.5% of toddlers will stop napping before age 2, while 94% stop napping by age 5. Most toddlers will stop napping between 3 and 4 years old.
