11 month old please help or encourage a confused mom

[Charjanemom]

My dd just turned 11 months. She is usually a good sleeper. Went through a rough patch in the 3-2 but normally does 11-12 hr nights. After Xmas I was tired of chasing a times so we went to set naps she was also ot from the holidays so we did
W630/7
S 930-1130 I woke her
S 245/3-4 ish I woke her

Worked great to get her caught up. Naps slowly moved to 10/1015 and pm nap started heading towards 330 but had to be ap as was being fought. Mid February we started getting ew crib parties. Babbling sometimes sitting up. I aim to leave her in her crib till 630 if she is happy which has been the case. We were getting short nights etc. finally had a 7am wake up so I tried 1 nap on Monday
W 7
S 1115-210
B 7

Tuesday
W 6 out of crib 630
S 1115-150
B 7

Today wake at 525!! I let her play for 20 mins then tried rocking her to ap a normal wu she just wanted to babble etc. called it quits at 630. Hysterical crying for 20 mins not sure if she was about to finally fall asleep when I gave up or what.


Anyways we need rid of these ew!!

Last week a typical day was
W 530/6. Once slept till 620
S 1010/1020- 1.5-2hrs usually has to be woke
S 340-410
B 715

What do I do?? I'm so confused. I was trying to just be on a rough set nap time. I don't think she can make it till 11ish today after a 525 wake up. How do I know the ew is it or ut??

I would keep the 1 nap for a least a week but shorten her day to 12 hours max however long the nap. Tuesday for example if you had her asleep for 6 instead of 7 you may have got a later wake up.

I would get the nap as late as you can today and then bedtime (in bed and asleep) for 6pm, I know this is a little more than 12 hours but 5.30 may be too early.

What do you think?

Yes looking back it makes sense that she should have gone down early. We ou did 2 days of 1 nap cuz with the ew I couldn't seem to make it to 1.
I don't know if she is ot ut or just going through developmental stuff. This morning I heard her chatting at 444!!! Then at 515 hysterical crying. We  are teething I think so I gave meds and she slept till 645. I'm so frustrated. The girl used to be the most amazing sleeper. Since we moved back to 2 naps I can only seem to get 1 hr 20 min nap the ap a 30 min CN.
If I do jump back do I just set nap time come hell or high water?

Bump

Just wondering about setting a nap time or should I go back and forth between 1 and 2 naps when required?
 
Yesterday
NW 445-515 very rare
W 645
S 1105-105
S 440-5
B 7

I heard a couple times moving around and whimpering the odd time after 4 am then woke at 645 for a few mins them up at 715 (615 before clock change)

She is either ot or had a good night sleep. Seems happy! Which she hasn't been the past few days

I'm thinking 1130 ish nap today and if we need to do a CN again we will. Yesterday she was really fussy around 4 pm. Which was only 3 hrs after her nap. Is it normal at first when there body is getting used to new nap times?. CN used to be at 4

It's quite common to need to do a few one nap days and then a 2 nap day to catch up when they are transitioning. I would say though that a 4pm cat nap is too late really and will have an impact on nightsleep. You are better off doing a short catnap in the morning and then a longer nap around lunchtime. You can do a longer nap first and then a catnap but I believe that 4pm is too late to start a catnap.

Have a look here and see if this helps! from 2 to 1 nap - how, when and the bumps

Ok I was concerned about the later nap but had read on the nap board in the 2-1 of ppl doing a late one to tie them over to bt

We had a weird night
Yesterday
W 645
S 1120-135
B 650 meant to be 630 but had a hot water issue and a cold bath would be no fun

NW 145 crying so I thought she needed teething meds. Was going to sit with her till they kicked in but she wouldn't settle. Kept trying to stand, talk etc. tried co sleeping and she just would lay down and seem asleep and 2 min later sit up. Finally i had enough after 1.5 hrs so i put her in her crib and sais time for bed abd walked out. She mantra for not even a minute then went to sleep. I don't know if that's ot or this am I noticed she is getting up high on her knees and trying to push up like as if to walk so maybe development? She woke at 710 so is this just part of the journey with the 2-1 and I need to just stick with it?

I see what you say about the short am long pm but that scares me as pm nap had always been the junky one. I can ap one in the car or rocking chair when needed but with her awake time snd nap length we are running out of room for it.

She seemed really cranky 2 hrs after her big nap yesterday. 330 used to be nap time so I'm guessing its her body figuring it out.
