Not sure where to go from here - 1-0

[haribo89]

Hi all my 27 mo has been in the 1-0 a while, we finally found NNDs are fine on a 11hr day any more and she gets OT, so days that have to be longer than 11hr we have been giving 20-30 min and she goes to sleep at 12-12.5hr day. However some mornings she seems so tired so I will let her have 45min - 1 hr nap but it makes BT very late and the day 13.5+ long. She gets more sleep over all by NNDS or CNs, My question is on days she seems so tired should I ride it out and not let her go over 30min even though she seems to need it? (This is what my OH thinks) or is there another way around this?
Thanks

What about doing a short catnap every day? It kind of seems like ot is building and then she needs a longer nap to catch up after a few days.

That is probably what is happening but the catch up nap then makes her have a shorter night (10hr or less) and she ends up tired again like yesterday's she had 45min nap and slept 9-7.
I'll try stick to a short nap but some days she refuses them altogether.

My dd was same. Shes hsn but when she stared 1-0 the cn just made days long prolonged ot so we dropped it ct. She started 1-0 in june and to start off with we were doing 10.5h days which worked out cos dd tacks on really well. Does your lo? Even now after almost 4 months dd can only handle 11.25 h nnds.

any sort of a nap just causes late bt and ew over here now.

hth!

I'd push through and not allow the longer naps.....just 20 mins CN and keep BT fairly set +/- 30 mins or so.  You may have a tired grumpy toddler but IME its worse after a shorter night...

Thanks all, I was afraid the OH was right. I will try sticking to a CN and see how we go, she's not tacked on until recently, we would always get a max of 10.5hrs a night but she's now occasionally doing a 12hr night when no nap or just a CN.
