[quote=Anonymous]My charges were these ages not long ago, and it was by far the most difficult and exhausting phase. The baby was only sleeping 40 min at a time and the 2.5 yr old was going through an odd phase of 30 min naps or skipping it entirely. It doesn’t last long. Does your nanny take them out on a daily basis? When we started going to a playground, the zoo, museums, etc. everything synced. The baby was getting enough stimulation to make their second nap 1.5 hrs or more, and the toddler was so exhausted from running around that his naps also returned to 1.5 hrs. Now at 9 months and 3 yrs old, they both nap 1-3:30 like clockwork. Even if your 2.5 yr old doesn’t nap, he should be spending an hour of alone time in his room playing or looking at books independently. I would suggest introducing a hatch light, so he knows when his hour of quiet time is up.[/quote]
