Advice for a 15.5 month old

[scucci1979]

I think I have to reduce little Madi's daytime sleep but am a little scared as she has been waking up between 6:20-6:30am.  She normally goes back to sleep for a little snooze but the majority of the time she is talking and making funny noises.  She overall gets about 13.5-14 hours of sleep.  

Here is a typical day
wake 7am
nap 12-2:30/2:50pm
bed 7:30pm


Should I consistently let her sleep 2.5 hours in the day? Do I push out her morning A? or should I try pushing out her bedtime? She doesn't refuse bedtime!

I have tried to reduce her nap to 2hours and boy was she every cranky and irritable!
thanks

I'd say that as long as she's a happy kid and not screaming down the house, she's beginning to make the start of a transition for you by herself. If a shorter nap is making her UNhappy, I'd probably leave it for now but keep an eye out for any further changes.

In other words, this doesn't sound "broken" enough to "fix" yet.

I would be in agreement she is doing a great sleep total.

Instead of knocking 30m off tr 15m for a couple of days and see what happens.  She sounds happy and content.

Good luck
