My 16 month old is ready to go from 2 naps to 1. Currently, her naps are 9:45-11:45 a.m. and 2:30-4:30 p.m. She usually sleeps most of the time for her first nap, but rarely sleeps at all for her second. She's content to "rest" for the full two hours though, so I haven't been in a rush to drop one. However, she's usually pretty fussy and clingy during her last awake time which makes it stressful for all of us. So, I guess my first question is, does it make sense to start transitioning her at this point?
If so, is there a suggested schedule out there? I remember coming here when we were transitioning from a 3-hour to 4-hour EASY and I found the schedules (done in 5 minute increments) to be very helpful.
My goal is to have one longer nap around 1 or 1:30. So, I'm thinking that I'll start shortening her first nap and then start her second nap earlier until we're close enough to just drop the first nap all together. I've been talking about doing this for weeks now, but I want to make sure I do it the right way! Any help or advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
