Would you change his nap if you got a reply saying it was too long , or if a poster thought they should be dropping naps by now ?
As long as i wake him up by 2, he goes down ok. He goes nursery 3 mornings a week, so goes to sleep at 12.45ish, but the days he doesn’t, maybe 12? He would probably sleep for 3 hours, but I like him going to bed and not being a fuss potHow long should a 2 year old nap for? My little boy naps for 1.5 hours still and sometimes takes ages to get up that sometimes it stretches to 2 hours. Is this too long? Tia
thank you! That’s what I do, make sure he’s awake for 2. It’s just he’s began waking at 5am/5.30/5.45 I was starting to wonder if the naps were the reason why!As long as i wake him up by 2, he goes down ok.

I don’t think anyone is being the nap police, maybe just giving their own experiences with sleeps?
Does he go off to sleep at night ok and at a reasonable time? If so, I think it’s probably ok for now. If you start to find he’s taking ages to settle to sleep at night or his bedtime Is any later than say 7.30/8pm I’d maybe try to cap the nap time to an hour max and see how you get onHow long should a 2 year old nap for?

Oh, he didn’t have a nap yesterday and him and the baby decided 5.30 was the time to wake up this morning
it has not been a happy house today! 
What time does he go to bed at night? Do you have a blackout blind or something on the window to keep the room nice and dark?
anytime after 6 I can handle but before 6 I hate He may be getting hungry. Does he have snack or anything to eat before he goes up to bed?No light getting in! He falls asleep between 7-7.30 no problem
He was sleeping just fine after the clock change waking between 6.30-7 but the last couple of weeks it’s been 5am-5.45
I usually give him a biscuit to have with his milk
Yer, before 6 is way to early. It’s a really long day for them also, even if they do have a napNo light getting in! He falls asleep between 7-7.30 no problem

Try and see if he would eat a slice of toast or something a bit more filling. It may just be the thing to keep him going a bit longer. I found with mine they would wake early during growth spurts and giving a bit extra food at dinner and toast or a small bowl of cereal before bed did the trick!!!
ooh ok I’ll try that tonight! Thank you!
I agree with this … I too noticed my daughter was waking up early or she would have random screaming episodes (hunger) .. she would have tea at 5pm but to expect her to go from 5pm to 6am the next morning without food wasn’t fair. I give her a bowl of cereal like shreddies, Cheerios or weetabix before bed and it tides her over. I started making tea at 5 to eat at 5.15-5.30pm too so everything has shifted and it seems to be helping (fyi she’s 2.5) x
we will see tomorrow at 5am 
thanks everyone!Let us know how he gets onHe’s never screamed when he wakes up he just wakes up and is ready for the day! I’ve gave him a bowl of Cheerios before bed anyway so hopefully that helps
Oh my goodness, written down like that makes me feel guilty
I always have a little snack at 9, and wake up starving! My poor kids same im just constantly hungryOh my goodness, written down like that makes me feel guilty
I’ve never thought of it like this I feel terrible now
but someone pointed it out to me and said well she’s having tea at 5pm and by 8pm she’s probably peckish so by 3am her belly will be really grumbly I felt awful too!!!!! Even if she’s had tea abit later like 6ish or later I always offer cereal cos I think by time 7.30 comes she might have room to be full up again haha.
