Is it *finally* time for him to move to one nap?! (16.5 months)

He did an 11.5hr night - you may have found you got a slightly longer nap after 5.5hrs A.  I know that seems like you're pushing fast but I think if he does a good night then you probably can push him a little.

Do an early night (or as best you can) tonight and then if you get another good night try it and see.  I find DS will look really tired at his "old" nap time but I know if I put him down that early he'll short nap.  So just have to keep telling myself that!

I agree, I was thinking it's a bit UT - seems to be the common thing around here these days.  Good nights really make a difference and he has had a few lately.

11.5 hr is a good night, but sometimes he does even longer.  And especially since he's teething and you're just still moving to one nap, my gut doesn't say UT.  But it hardly ever does, so I may not be helping. 

I wonder if I just need to only do one nap days if he wakes after 6.30 - otherwise when he takes a short nap we are stumped!!! 

TBH, that is what I did as if it was a short nap, it just seemed like forever until bedtime.  6:30 am was my cutoff.  And since he seems to be handling the 2 nap days still, I would stick to that.

I think that sounds like a good plan. Try 1 nap if he wakes after 6.30am and 2 if not and maybe when he is over the worst of the teething it will become easier to do one. I do remember with molars that I was just forever tweaking and thinking about A times and tbh none of it was much good until the teeth sorted themselves and then it started to get a bit easier (a bit!) I think you probably remember that from my mammoth thread round about when Henry was 10/11 months.
