how did you know dc was ready for 1 nap?

The past 2 days DD will go down in the morning and sleep 2 hours but she's having issues with an afternoon nap.

She can't make it from 11 until bedtime at 7....any hints?

Re: how did you know dc was ready for 1 nap?

Dd was fighting going down. She would not go in. AI I transitioned her at 11-12 months. I kept her up later in the morning. So instead of 10 I inc it to 10:15 etc and kept her pm nap the same until we were doing 12-3. So where in that time frame.
I used her cues so I knew she was ready to stay up lOnger but watched for tired cues. It didn't take long to transition.

I tried to keep 2 naps as long as possible... I loveeeddd 2 naps. Around 16 months she wouldn't go down for her morning nap very easily, I'd try putting her down at 10 and she'd play and play and play.. I knew then that it wasn't necessary but still tried to do it for 18m with mixed results. Exactly at her 18m bday we dropped to one nap, around 12:30/1:00

I'd try an earlier bedtime. DS has refused an afternoon nap for awhile now. (He's 15 mos) He usually naps 10:30/11 to 12/12:30 (ish lol) His bedtime is 6:30, but when he is extra cranky, we put him down earlier.

having the same issue - DS is 15m and doing his morning nap no problem - usual 1.5 - 2hrs but just playing his 2nd nap....

im thinking i will just try to push the morning nap later and later like pp suggested until its just 1 nap
