Drop to one nap?

Hey guys, just asking if I'm doing the right thing!

DD is 16 months and for a while has been having 2 naps with a bedtime of 10pm (I like an 8pm bedtime, as does everyone else in the family, so not ideal!).

Am I right in thinking it's time to drop a nap? She loves her morning nap, so I've just tried to push it out a bit today (currently napping on me, has been for an hour... Likely to wake up soon). Do I then bin th second nap and hope for an early bed time today?

It feels like so long ago I did this with DS7 so asking for any tips as I well and truly can't remember.

Thanks

Absolutely, just do the morning nap. It'll eventually just get shifted to slightly later. Makes bed time much much earlier (and earlier) in my experience 😊

Thank you! Sounds like a plan. I HATE these late bedtimes at the moment so that's music to my ears.
