2.5 year old taking 30+ min to fall asleep

Anonymous
2.5 yo has been in twin bed for 6+ months. I stopped using the monitor a few months back when we switched internet because I never looked at it anymore. I had a babysitter last week so connected it again and have realized that after we read in his bed and I leave, my child stays awake, quiet in bed for more than 30 minutes. I always just thought he fell asleep since he was quiet.

Is that weird? Im glad he stays there but wonder if we could start to stay up a bit later (currently sleeps 7pm-6:15am).

With that schedule, yes I would try to stay up a bit later.

That said my 2.5 year old is just like this and will take that kind of time to fall asleep at any hour.

Time to drop the nap?

Also, that is a LOT of sleep, even for a 2.5 yr old. Push bedtime 30 minutes later.

Sounds pretty lucky to me.

Completely normal.

All three of my children completely dropped naps around their second birthdays. According to my Mom, I did as well. Maybe he is okay with just some quiet time at this point.

That’s normal night sleep but may be starting to grow out of nap.

He's asleep by 7? Or he lays down at 7?
