Caitlin still takes a nap and she is 17 months old. She really needs it because we are lucky to get 9 hours a night of sleep (last night was barely 8hrs). Sometimes she will go down at 7:30, then be up at 2am thinking it's morning. It's frustrating but she has never been fond of sleep and has never been a self soother, I still rock her to sleep.

A lot of toddlers go through a phase when they sleep less or try to give up naps. I've found that often, Isaiah is exhausted, even if he acts like he isn't. I've been actually lying down with him until he settles when he's not able to settle himself. If he still really won't sleep, I've been known to put him in his mei tai and wear him while he sleeps.
