Nap transition 2-1

[mamatinny]

So....

Up until a couple of weeks ago my 14 month old was taking 2 naps! Around 9am and then around 1pm

She started completely refusing the afternoon nap so I cup the morning nap an hour and she went back to taking the afternoon one!

It doesn’t matter now WTF I do...she will not nap in the afternoon! Yesterday she was in the pram literally EXHAUSTED and wouldn’t cave!

I’m happy with one nap! And I’m happy for her to have one nap but HOW the sam heck do you get your child to take 1 nap a day when she gets up latest 6:30am and the max I can push her too is 10am and even then she will only take 1.5 hour nap. Push her any further to 10:30/11:00 and she only sleeps for an hour meaning that she’s literally spending 8/9 hours awake 🙄🙄🙄🙄

It was fine at first but now she’s majorly overtired and we’re back to 5am wakes and wakes in the night again!

Someone please help as I have LOST THE WILL TO LIVE

No advice but bumping for you as we are at a similar stage!

When we went to one nap it was literally on my DS first birthday. He refused his second nap and that was that. At the time he was getting up between 6-7. At the beginning the nap was as about 10.30, for anything from 2-3 hours depending (if we weren’t doing anything I’d let him sleep as long as his wanted). Over time the nap has gradually pushed back and back. Now it’s closer to 12 at 19 months. In the beginning when the nap was early he went to bed any time after half 6 really. Now our day normally looks like- up at 7ish, nap at 12 for 11/2 hours, bed at earliest 7.

If your little one is getting up at 6.30 latest. Try nap at 10 and leave for as long as possible. I’d then follow it up with an early bed time. That will mean she’s not getting over tired in the evening and give her a chance to catch up on sleep overnight. Bed as early as 6pm would be okay. Does she sleep in the cot for nap time?

Also same situation!
Mine is 14.5 months
He will only do 1 hour on one nap but managed 2 hours on 2 naps?! I think he has to get used to the stretched wake times

Going to be some early beds over here!

We found she didn't drop down consistently for a while and still, at 18 months, will have two naps if ill. So she'd manage on one nap one day (but early to bed) and then be back to needing two the following day. Maybe a bit of mix and match to start with?

Sorry "she" = DD

I’m just going to bin her and start again! She would sleep 1.5-2 hours when she had 2 naps now she’s on 1 nap! It’s so hard! I try and put her down for 2 and she literally just lays in the cot kicking tbe F out of the bottom

Mama same here
Yest he did a 1 hour nap all day as I couldn’t fit in a little cat nap !

I think it might take them a while to get how to do a long nap on a longer awake time - least that’s what I’m hoping!

I’m going to do 2 naps today! But cap nap 1 at 15 mins as he’s then doing 2 hours in afternoon
