9 month old fighting naps

Hi all, my 9 month dd has always been a great daytime sleeper although not very good at night time, she's always been like clock work in the day and had 1.5 hrs at around 8.30-9 am and the same at 2 pm, she's always been fed to sleep but occasionally has dropped off by herself in her cot, the last week she's been feeding then sitting up wide awake but her eyes are red and she's yawning. Have tried putting her in her cot with a lullaby yesterday but she got so upset I took her out in the pram and she dropped off after 30 mins walking, have had to do the same today as she's not closing her eyes yet she looks so tired and upset. Question is, is she likely to be trying to miss out her nap I the morning and just have a long one in the afternoon or dropping feeds or just changing her routine abit, anyone else experienced this around 9 months?

no advice really but just to say my 9 month old is also switching nice long naps for 20/30 mins her and there.

i am not a routine person, trying to just go with it...but i do think she is overtired. she is not sleeping well at night either. it just seems teething and clingy, wanting to be held and cuddled is taking over.
