Since she wasn't falling asleep until 60+ minutes after bed time, and we've only cut her nap by 45 minutes, earlier bed time doesn't really make sense to me iyswim.  :)

There would be logistical issues as well.

Could you try putting her down earlier? DS always needed a much earlier bed when we were cutting naps. Early by at least as much as we cut the nap by (if that makes any sense!)

I'd try earlier too. She might still take a while to get to sleep, but if she's asleep earlier then that should help.
