Personally I wouldn't do 'as long as she wants' - unless you feel like she's really poorly and needs it. I'd like her go a bit longer for the nap, then have her ready for normal bedtime but keep her up 15 mins later if she seems happy.

excuse me for a tiny hijack (if i may please!), i just want to get on board set naps and bt again, and want to know what set nap times should i set if our wu is 5am? For 2 months we have had ew, and bt is now as early as we can get to compensate, though still 13.5-14hr days (sigh). DD is pushing 17mths.
In the last few days i have started a 6:30pm pd, asleep at 6:50pm, but wu is from 4:40am-5:05am. (I'd prefer wu to be 6am.) We have had teeth issues with molars which are still sloowly arriving, and now a canine is popping through, and traditionally a 10h20min night has been DD's forte. She's lucky to get even that now.
Anyway is 11am set nap ok for a 5am wu? And 6:30pm bt? Our naps have been 1h15-30min of late. It's been less than 12hr sleep in 24 for a while now... Poor DD.

think u were right about capping day sleep anna. shes been up all hours over last two nights partly cos of fever but think ut too cos she was happily playing. some of nws were before 12- is that still considered ot atlfter 12mo??!!

wu was 9am today (i woke) but she wqs ready for nap by 12 no doubt due to several long nws!! i let her nap at 12.15 and will cap at 3 hr with normal bt at 7.30. dyt that will get us back on track? i can hear her making noises now at 1. hope thats not end of nap! i cant believe how easily things can derail!.

mcm- feel free to tag along. my dd was having ews 2 months ago which is when i started set times...i had another thread which may be helpful to you...

 12.5 mo waking at 5/5.30

good luck x

Honestly? Who knows. With my little girl it is usually teething if it's before midnight but I don't think there are any hard and fast rules.

FX for the rest of the day.
