Dropping to one nap a day

When did you LO drop to one nap a day? How long was the nap? How long were the wake windows and what time was wake up and bed time?

My LO dropped from 2 naps to 1 nap at 13 months old - she is now 19 months old. She just wasn't interested in having a second nap anymore. Often fighting it, skipping it completely or only napping later on (past 3:30pm) for 20 minutes and then refusing to go to sleep at night.

She seems to follow this structure at the moment:

6am - 7am - Wake up

Between 12:10 - 12:25pm - Begins nap (normally only takes 5-10 minutes to fall asleep)

Between 1:40pm - 2pm - Wake up from nap

6:15pm - Bed time routine (PJs on, In the Night Garden, bedtime story, teeth)
7:00pm - 7:10pm - Into cot bed
Between 7:30pm & 8pm - Falls asleep

She's normally awake 5 hours - 5 hours 30 before her nap. And then 5 hours 30 - 5 hours 45 before bedtime.

I was interested in this aswell, my daughter recently down to one nap since about 14 months roughly, goes about 5 hours before nap, but my only problem is some mornings she is awake between 5 and 6am which makes her nap early, then she starts getting tired round 5 o clock in afternoon, it's a tricky one to get right when she wakes so early
