This sounds so tiring! So what does her normal day look like? Does she spend most of her “sleep” during the day? And awake most of the night?

I'd not drop all naps or limit naps to 15 minutes at her age

I'd say most 18 month old are doing a 1-2 hour nap each day.

The only time I'd consider waking up my 16 month old from her nap would be if it went over 3 hours.. though that's never happened!

I try to ensure she's never Napping passed 2.30pm, otherwise she takes a while to get to sleep at night

Hey yes she stays awake at night and sleep during the day I’ve tried capping her naps to 90 minutes even half hour I’ve had no luck at all she just wants to play all the time I hate seeing her override and let her sleep but it needs to stop she changes sometimes but then all of an sudden we’re back to night which is frustrating
