10 mo wakes up happily after 30 min morning nap

[sgqx]

My DD is turning 10 months next week.  During the past 1 week or so, her morning naps were about 30 minutes.  She usually wakes up after 30 minutes, and plays in her crib quietly for a while, sometimes for about an hour.  She seems very happy depsite short nap.  Her PM nap is also relatively short, about 1 hour.  she can STTN from 6:30-7pm to 6:00-6:30am, so her totally sleep night is about 13-13.5hrs.

We did sleep training several weeks ago.  Her night sleep really improves, but meanwhile her naps got much shorter, 1.5 hrs-2hrs.  Do you think she is ready to take one nap?

Can you post her EASY so I can see what it looks like?  Sounds like you need a routine tweak.  Have a look at this thread as well.  There seem to be a lot of you going through the same thing right now as I seem to keep posting this link!

Thanks!  Here is her typical day:

6-6:30 am: wake up
6:30: 8 oz formula
8:30: breakfast
9:30-10:00am:  start morning nap, which is usually 30-45 minutes
after she wakes up, she quietly plays in her crib, and we take her out until 11:00
11:00am: 6 oz formula
1:00pm: lunch
1:30-2:00pm: start afternoon nap, which is usually 1-1.5 hrs
3:00-3:30: snacks
5:00: dinner
6:30-7pm: bath, 8oz formula and bedtime

She has no problem falling asleep by herself and has been STTN for a while. The routine her sleep is usually: bath (for night sleep), closing the curtain, feeding (night sleep), lullaby.  She just turns to 10 months this week.

It that what she's doing now?  Looks like a good routine at 10 months.  As she starts needing more A time you can keep cutting the morning nap down gradually until it eventually phases out.

Thanks, Karen!  That's her current schedule.  Yesterday, she still took 30 min morning nap, but her afternoon nap was over 2 hours.  I had to wake her up to protect the routine.  I guess she is really in the transitional staget of 2-1 nap.
