What was your schedule if DC dropped to one nap relatively early?
DD just turned 10 months and despite my best efforts, it seems she is set on only one nap. I'm having a hard time figuring a routine that will work around that. We've always followed eat, play, sleep but now that's no good. Can you share your nap and feeding schedule that worked for your DC?

My DD was about 15 months when she dropped to one nap. Her schedule goes like this:
7am wake up, gets sippy of milk
8am breakfast
11:30am Lunch with milk
12:30pm nap (usually 2 hours or so)
3:30/4pm snack (cereal bar, goldfish, yogurt)
5pm sippy of milk
6pm dinner
7pm bedtime
Hope this helps!

DD was 12 months when she dropped to one nap, but her wake, sleep and feeding schedule has been the same since 6 months. She's now almost 20 months old.
6 - 7am: Wake and cup of milk
8am: Breakfast
11 / 11:30am: Lunch with cup of milk
12pm - Nap (at home for an hour, at school for 2 hours - drives me bonkers)
2pm: Snack
5pm: Dinner with cup of milk
6:30pm: Bath
7:15pm: Bed

Thanks ladies, this is helpful. My other question would be when do you get out of the house to get anything done? I feel like I have less time to get out with less napping which doesn't make sense!
Today I ended up pushing her to nurse at 10:30 which she wasn't into and then giving her crackers instead of lunch while we were in the supermarket at 11:30. I can't seem to find a time in the schedule to get out without it hitting a feeding or meal time.

DS is 27 months, so older... but heres our 1-nap schedule 
8/8:30 AM- he wakes up (LOVE that he sleeps in!
8:30-9:30/10- breakfast, play a little bit, get dresed for the day
9:30/10- thats when we head out to do some stuff ( most of the activities i have him in start around 10, or we'll go food shopping, etc.
* I usually do his snack "on the go"- ill give him crackers, cereal bar or whatever while we walk around the grocery store... or I'll sit in the car for a few minutes after his Little Gym class while he has a snack ( I'm too paranoid to give it to him while I'm driving and can't pay close attention)
We're usually gone from like 10-12. I find thats usually enough time to run the errands i need to do. Then we get home around 12, and have lunch. Hes in his nap by 1 or so, and sleeps until like 3.
We usually don't go anywhere after he waes up from his nap- we just stay in and play. He gets another snack when he wakes up, too.

I usually plan to do things early, right after breakfast or later in the day, after her nap. It's rough because I'm basically stuck in the house from 11:30 until 2 or 3 when she wakes up. If we have something planned on a weekend (like a party) she usually skips her nap entirely if our plans coincide with her nap time. I honestly try to do errands or food shopping mostly on the weekends when my husband can stay home with the kids or on the way home from work (I work pt, 3 days a week).

Re: What was your schedule if DC dropped to one nap relatively early?
DD is 13 months, but has been napping only once for months.
7 wake up
8 breakfast
11 lunch
1130 nap 2 hrs
5 dinner
9 milk
930 sleep
We do stuff from 8 to 11 or 5 to 9. We are not super strict, so sometimes nap is a little later.

Our schedule is:
Wake - 5:30-6am - 4oz bottle
Breakfast - between 7:30-8am
Snack - between 10-10:30am
Lunch - around 11-11:30am, sometimes after nap depending
Bottle - with lunch
Nap - 12ish-2ish
Snack - 3pm
Dinner - 6pm
Bath - 7pm
Bottle - 7:15pm
Bed - 7:30pm
I actually prefer the one nap thing because I like to get things done earlier in the day.
I would carry a snack with you for DD to hold her over if she is to get hungry while you are out and about.

I donlt have strict feeding schedule (or nap really). He eats breakfast at 830 ish. Lunch noonish but had been as late as 2. Dinner is 7ish during the week and 6ish on weekends.
A strict feeding schedule is not as important when they are older. I do not revolve my life around DS....because of this my DS is more of a go with the flow kind of kid. IF we are out and he gets hungry he gets a snack.
