2-1 advice needed please

[CoraDora]

I'm looking for some words of wisdom re the two to one transition.

Dd2 has been ew for a couple of weeks and it just seems to be getting earlier and earlier! I have been ap'ing a bit by bringing her into bed with us and bf'ing - she'll lie in bed with us for about an hour if I do this, but I realise this isn't a great long term plan!

Our easy is roughly this:

Wu 4:30/5:30
Bf in bed lasts one hour approx (she will dose during this time)
Wu #2 5:30/6:30
E 7:00
A
S 9:30ish (1/1.5hr)
A
E 11:30/12:00
A
S 14:00 (1/1.5hr)
E (bf)
A
E 16:30/17:00
A
Bf and BT 18:30

She definitely seems to be able to take a much longer A time than before.

So what's the plan?! I guess I should be eliminating the 4:30 bf in bed? And actually getting up then?! Eeeeep. Or take the gentler approach of just capping the am nap to 45 minutes?

Any pointers would be gratefully received (btw I have read the faqs on 2-1 transition).

Personally I would start by capping one of those nice long naps a bit shorter - as you're getting EWs you need to either make that first A time a lot longer or cap the first nap so that you're aiming for a UT nap anyway.

I wouldn't be suggesting that you get up at 4.30am, you might need to start encouraging her to stay asleep in her cot with some ST, but for now, see if the nap changes make enough of a difference on their own.
