Does every child doesn't have enough hours of nap will cry at night? My LO15mo from 7mo onwards every day when she fall asleep she wld suddenly woke up crying & screaming, so we suspect she didn't had enough napping time (light sleeper). Until now she wld still woke up crying & uncontrollable certain days.
I have 3 kids age 8,6 n 5 ... for all 3 after turning two I never force them to have nap n I prefer them without nap so that they can sleep early but during school holiday they will sleep after 12am but no problem at all never cry during sleep .
