Dropping to one nap

My son won’t have his second nap & we are in the same boat atm 😣

We just changed it straight to new times. First few weeks she may have needed a cat nap in Arvo if she had a very short nap in the day. My daughter currently does 4.5 or 5 hours awake then we do bath and nap (too cold here at the moment to bath before bed) and she sleeps usually 1.5 to 2.5 hrs. Then another 5 hours awake before bed. I did sleep training. And it has been a miracle for us. Not left to cio or anything. Check-ins every 5 mins as needed. So she normally wakes around 6 to 7.30am and naps around 11/12 .. depending... And bed is between 6 and 7.30... go off awake windows rather than schedule.

Distractions, snacks/lunch and a long bubble bath can help lengthen your awake time in the morning. You might need to just commit to the change and give it a week and see how it goes.

My son dropped to one nap a few months ago now, his bedtime has always been 7.30, and I didn’t want him napping past 4/4.30 otherwise he was harder to put to bed. Slowly his morning nap got pushed back to about 11am, and he would sleep till 1, and his afternoon nap got shorter and shorter because I’d always wake him at 4.30 latest. Until he started staying up until 9.30-10pm because he wasn’t tired. The next day I cut the second nap and bought bedtime up to around 7 and he slept like a dream. It’s been one nap since then. Now it’s awake at 7 nap from 12-2.30 bed at 7.30

I followed my daughter’s lead in naps. She went to 1 nap while sick and teething, was rough!
Follow your child and you’ll be fine

My daughter sleeps 6.30pm- 7am then 11.30am-2.30pm

Distract distract distract avoid strollers or car seats around 10am.
Have toys in cars and prams so they can play and stay awake.
Give them brunch at around 10.30 and if they make it after a bottle and bed at around 11-11.30am. Sometimes mine will last longer if she wakes up after 6.30am
