9 months and only napping once a day! Anyone else going through a nap regression?

Ok, so she sleeps wonderfully at night so I should really count my blessings.
But for the last few weeks dd (9 1/2 months) has really fought her second nap and for the last few days she's skipped it entirely.
Surely she's too young to be transitioning to one nap?
Yesterday she had 45 mins sleep all day, today she had an hour. Confused
Is anyone else going through the same? Or can anyone offer any advice?
TIA

I know how you feel. My 8.5 month old had 30 minutes all day yesterday. The day before was an hour and a half in one nap. Today also 1.5 hours in one nap. He's normally over tired by bedtime but he just refuses to sleep so I just find ways to keep him occupied till bath time. Some nights he will groan for a while till he eventually drifts off (cuddles help now) and other nights he will be asleep before he's in his cot. This still doesn't mean he sleeps all night but I can't make him sleep in the day. Tough on us:-(

Thanks Carly It's reassuring to know I'm not alone Smile
9 months seems to be prime time for sleep regression judging by the number of threads on here . I struggled to find any that were mainly about day naps though.
Well, DD did manage a second nap today - she had 1/2 hour this afternoon so not such a bad day. Hope yours was ok too.

Sent home from nursery sick and slept from 4-6 then bed at 7.30 so hopefully he will sleep tonight. A little dopey and not quite himself so perhaps had an upset belly at Nursey. He's had milk but no solids tonight and kept it down.
