Help!! We've been transitioning to one nap for the past 2 weeks and we are really struggling. We started going to one nap because our lo was fussing/talking in her crib for up to one hour before falling asleep for 30 minutes in the morning, then doing the same in the afternoon, fussing at night for up to 30 minutes and waking up by 5:00 each morning.
Now, she at least goes to sleep right away at naptime (1:00pm) and bedtime (7:00pm), but is waking up after 45 minutes crying during her naps, falling back to sleep, but then only napping for 1-1/2 hrs! She is also up crying 2-3 times each night and is still only sleeping until 5:30 or so! We always leave her to cry herself back to sleep, which only takes 5-10 minutes, but she is obviously overtired and not herself the past 2 weeks. We don't want to go back to 2 naps a day as that was such a struggle too, but we don't know what else to do. Any advice?
