Ella hasn't had her daily nap for well over a week now. I've tried everything to get her to sleep but she fights it. She's nearly 18months now and runs around like a loony, climbs everywhere and must be exhausted but she doesn't seem to sleep enough... Has anyone else experienced this

I give Beebe fruit tea / caramel tea / green tea.. as it's what I drink. She doesn't have it very often but she does love it.. there's no caffeine or sugar in it and it has a mild taste and a thing of tea-bags is probably cheaper than a bottle of fruity water?

Worth a go..

As for the naps, as others have said I'd go with what seems right, if she's fine without one I'd still be encouraging her to have one but if she doesn't actually sleep at least you've had 25 minutes quiet time together - which I think is important!

the tea idea sounds great :) thanks i'll give that a whirl.
Unfortunately because i work i have to have the inlaws and my mum take care of Ella. My mum has the same routine as me but my inlaws are always dragging Ella out and about for walks and stuff so there's no routine in that day ...
She's never been a big sleeper so i guess she just doesn't really need her naps anymore
