Is my lo ready for 2-1 transition

[smck]

HI there

my lo is a week off 10 mths old. He is an angel/textbook baby. On a few occasions recently he has resisted his afternoon nap, though not every day.  Does this mean he is ready to transition or should I wait until he is refusing the nap consistently every day?  I can get him to sleep if we are in the car though tis may be AP??

TIA

our day looked like this:

6.30 awake and bf
7.30 solids
9.30 nap for 1.5 hrs
11.00 awake and bf
12.00 solids
2.30 nap for 1.5 hrs
4.00 awake and bf
6.30 bath etc
7.00 bed  - asleep till morning

As I said the afternoon nap now sometimes doesnt happen. I have read the posts about how to transition.  But as he isnt refusing pm nap every day, is he ready for this?  or should I wait until he refues every day consistently iykwim??

I would still try for that 2nd nap....once he starts refusing it every day, you can do one of two things:  You can shorten his first nap so he'll be more tired for the 2nd or you can just push his A time in the morning until it reaches 12 or 1 pm.
