A. yes it's absolutely normal but try different patterns for nap also may be baby is busy in activities and that's why refuses to nap. My son also dropped day nap because of play and activities but after some days started again. Also I noticed that when he is awake whole day he was extremely tired and exhausted at night, not interested even in dinner always asks for sleep and that's when I started his day nap again. Moreover Every child is different observe some days and make changes accordingly.

A. Sleeping pattern in children may be variable in different age group so if the baby is active and taking proper feeding with no other complaints most of the time there is nothing to worry. You have to just see the child should not be uncomfortable which may be because of factors like temperature of the room nasal blockage some discomfort like infantile colic or hunger. In older children a proper discipline is required fyyso that the sleeping pattern can be scheduled according to a proper time try to avoid too much of screen time with sometimes can be theh causative factor for disturbed sleep.
