GF babies - giving up morning nap?

[Jasmum]

My DD is 11mths & is waking about 7-7.30 & sleeping all night which is great but the morning nap is coming to an end I think. She starts showing signs of tiredness around 9.45-10.00 if I try & keep her up then by 11.00 she's quite grim & needs a lot of attention, lunch is then early etc etc. I've tried putting her down at 10am for a quick refresh but she just cries & cries & won't settle & then it's too close to the lunchtime nap. In Gf's book she says if they're taking too long to settle, not sleeping for long & or not tired till 10 & making it through happily till 12 then give it up but she doesn't cover the grey area (for a change!)
I'd appreciate any suggestions or similar problems. (This has conicided with her first teeth which arrived last week (hurrah, at last!)

It could settle down once the teeth are through. Or you could try giving her a little snack and drink before the nap, then if lunch is a little late it won't be too bad. We went through this around the same age with ds. There were a good few months when he wasn't ready to go down early enough, but also not ready to give up the morning nap entirely, and we had to compromise, sometimes lunch was early, sometimes late - rarely on tme!

Yep, it's a tricky phase; ds is now 20 months and still has a morning nap on odd days if he's really tired. I think around the grey area we often ended up with an early lunch or even the main nap happening before lunch - depended if he made it through to feeding time! If he got really tired in the morning but wouldn't sleep then 20 minutes in front of a video or CBeebies gave him a rest without fussing, or try a buggy trip. Basically be flexible with the routine - remember it is working for you.
