10 month old refusing PM nap?

[aelight]

Reading this, maybe I need to cut it to just a 30 minute nap starting 3 hours and 15 min after she wakes? Scruffymax, I know you do set naps, but I'm not sure that will work with my DD's long A times?

"Average ‘A’ time for toddlers :
*Average A time for toddlers at this age is mostly 5 hours, some are already up to 6 hours. Several routines include slightly earlier bedtimes to make up for LO still being very tired during this very early transition period.

*After 10 months of age - average A times based on naps:

A)  20 min am nap 2h-3h20m hours A time, then PM nap
B)  30 min am nap 2h45m - 3h30m hours A time, then PM Nap
C)  45min AM nap 3h15m-4 hours A time, then PM nap
D)  60 min nap, 3h30m-4 hours A time, then PM nap"

You've got to work out what works with your DD.  I found once I started set naps I never thought about A times again so it didn't matter if DD woke at 6am or 7am, I still put her down at the same time and she was fine with it because her body clock was used to naps at that time.  A few months ago when my DD was your DD's age I saw lots of people posting on this forum who were increasing A times to (what I thought were) quite ridiculous levels to get good naps and it never ended well.  Not saying you are doing this!  Just that I think you should definitely stick with 2 naps for now if at all possible.

Maybe you could try 30 min nap at 10am and then uncapped nap at 2pm?  Or something like that, whatever you think would work?  I would give it quite a few days to see how your LO goes.  Good luck :-)
