I just wanted to share what I do if my almost 9month old has a really short (like 20mins or less) afternoon nap or won't nap at all. It works really well for us :D
If she sleeps for 20mins cause she fell asleep in the car after running errands or can't settle properly or doesn't fall asleep, I do a couple pu/pds, but I find if she has the energy to fight sleeping then she has the energy to play. So....I get her up and play with her a bit, then I give the bottle that I would normally give after the nap (cause by then we're within an hour of it anyways) then we do our windown and I put her down to nap again. I usually get at least a 45mins nap this way. It works really well for us :D ! And then we're not too far off routine and she can stay awake till her normal bedtime.
This only happens once in awhile and she's wide awake while eating so I think it goes along well with the EASY way of thinking.
