Help for today after time change

[jcsmom]

Our clocks went back last night here in Canada and I need some help for C today. She is 13.5 months and we are in the middle of the 2-1. Most days our day looks like this
wu 7
nap 12:30-2
bed 7

Yesterday we had an EW but I held her off until normal nap time and she had a broken nap but still 1.5 hours. We had a party to go to in the evening and I was hoping she would sleep on the way home however, she fell asleep on the way there from 5-5:15 the would not go down for the night until 9pm!!!!! Then woke at her regualr time of 6:45 but with the clock change it was 5:45. I ap'd the heck out of her to no avail and kept her in her room in the dark until 7 am (new time). If you are still following, what should I do about naps today? She is very OT from yesterday so I was hoping for 2 naps.

two naps may help you get through today and if they are long enough, perhaps push out the day to help with the catch with the click change. The link below us helpful re : managing

We ended up doing
wu 5:40 (kept in room til 7) and did regular feed times
nap 9:50-10:10
nap pd at 12:15 asleep 12:30ish (chatted for ages) and slept between 1 hour 20-30 wu 2pm
bedtime?

Our issue now that she is on one nap is every time I do a morning nap of any length we get an EW. But I don't want her day to be too long either so I am thinking 6:30 to bed?

How did you get on?

We found once on the 2-1 track that even a short nap earlier in the morning would lead to EWs so I stopped doing it. DD coped really well with OT at BT though generally so it didn't impact on her sleep to do this.

nap pd at 12:15 asleep 12:30ish (chatted for ages)

It looks like this second nap was quite UT, perhaps after a morning CN she needs longer?

The CN did backfire and we got a super EW yesterday morning at 5am. I knew that would happen. I am sticking to one nap no matter what. 2 nap days always make her OT/EW. I did manage to AP from 6:15-7 then she slept 1 hour 40 (which is miraculously long for her) at lunch but we had an EW again today at 5:45. I think she counted the 6:15-7 as a nap and so it made our day too short. Oh well, onwards and upwards. I just can't decide on one nap how long her day should be. Buttonbobs what did your LO do around this age on one nap? I am pretty certain that she will never do 2 hours plus a 12 night. I am thinking from my logs 1.5 and a 11.5 ishhour night seems to work for her. I know it seems low but we get our best nights with around 10.75-11 A time.

We never really got 12 hour nights so I think at 13.5 months we were settled properly onto one nap of varying length (sometimes 1hr20, sometimes up to 2 hrs) and an 11.5hr night I think. There were days when I knew this wasn't quite enough but we were going through settling in at nursery and teething and lots of developmental stuff so I was pleased enough with that and she seemed ok.

I know that there was a hard phase when she wasn't getting good enough naps for one nap to really be enough day sleep for her but when two naps made the day super long and she was OT from the much shorter nights. at this point I went cold turkey to one nap and set the nap at 11.30 and this really helped.
