This week my once dd now wakes up screaming from her morning and pm nap, and before she would sleep for 1.5 hr  in morning now she wakes up 45-60 mins after.  She never wakes up screaming from her night sleep and she used to always wake up happy from naps too, but now she wakes up crying and if i leave her to settle she is inconsoleable.  And she seems as if she is not getting enough sleep.  I mean if she wakes up 10/10.30am that means next time is 13pm which means she wakes up 14.00 and then has to stay awake until 18.45 - too long!

Our EASY used to be:

6.45-7am wake up
9.30/am nap
11am wake up (happy)
1400 nap
1500 wake up
18.45 bedtime

At one year old, I think that morning nap is happening too early. If she's waking between 6:45/7, I'd delay first nap until at least 10 am and limit it to one hour and then try second nap from 2:30-4 with bedtime then at 7 or 7:30...
