Struggles with the 2 to 1 nap transition

Moved from 2 to 1 naps a couple of weeks ago for my 15 month old little one and it’s proving a bit of a struggle. He used to nap 45 mins - 1 hour in the morning and 90 mins to 2 hours in the afternoon. He now just naps 90 mins max at lunchtime. Does it take a while to adjust or am I expecting too much? Im
just mindful that has daytime sleep has reduced since the transition.

We’re going through the exact same issue at the same age. It’s a struggle after 5pm for sure.

Our 2-1 nap transition was also a bit tricky and we had a stage of a limited morning nap which I think helped. First we limited the morning nap to about 30 minutes and then 15 minutes. He then slept between one and a half to two and a half hours in the afternoon and it stopped him being an exhausted mess by the end of the day! It also helped with not being too overtired to eat at meal times.

Thanks both! My problem is that if I give him a morning nap, he ends up not being ready to go to sleep at bedtime until 8:30 but still waking up for the day 6/6:30 😬
