My nearly 11 month old daughter was sleeping from 7.30-8pm until 6.30-7am until the past week when she has started waking anytime from 5.30 (I know it's not as early as some people have to deal with, but it's really hard to get used to again after getting used to at least 6.30!)
Most days she was having a nap at 10 and I would usually wake her after 40 minutes to an hour and then she'd nap again for an hour and a half-ish from about 2-2.30.
It all seemed to go wrong when we had to miss out her morning nap last weekend which put her whole day out and since then even though we've tried to go back to the same pattern of naps, she's been waking earlier.
Now the past couple of days she's started to resist daytime naps. We've had really busy days from lunchtime onwards and knew that she wouldn't get a lot of sleep in the afternoon so let her sleep more in the morning. This used to be okay and she would just have a short nap in the afternoon, but the past couple of days, she has slept very little (if at all!) in the afternoon and is really grumpy and practically passes out at bedtime!
I tried to put her down at 10 this morning and she kept on crawling round her cot and pulling herself up to standing for about half an hour before finally giving in and going to sleep.
Do you think I should be pushing back her first nap? Do you think she is trying to move to one nap a day? Any suggestions to make this as painless as possible?
