DD is 15.5 mos old. She has been lately having difficulty with naps.
Her day until recently was
6 am up
9:30 nap 1 h 1.15 h
2:30 or later nap till 3:30 ( had to curb to this time, because a 4 pm wake up seemed to affect her morning awake time)
7 bed
Last week she started staying awake in the morning till May by 10 am or would even fall asleep after. on some days she would not be able to fall asleep in the afternoon.
In the past I tried curbing her morning nap but that always backfired with a poor afternoon nap (on the other hand, she just has not been able to take an under tired PM nap either).... So we decided to try one nap. Day 1:
6 am up
11 am nap. She woke up after 1 h 30 min. I tried to resettle her, but that didn't work.
6 in bed
waking up already 2 times in the night, so she is showing OT signs.
I am so weary and don't know what to do really. Should I go back to trying 2 naps on and off with luck or just push ahead with this transition. If so what would the best strategy? I read the recommendations here on this 2-1 transition but as per above these types of strategies have not worked in the past. Also Her sleep is so vulnerable, she is very sensitive so it makes me also sensitive to as dramatic a change.
