2 to 1 nap transition
Hello!
I was in the process of switching my 10 month old from 2 naps to 1, but now I’m not sure and looking for insight!
I know 10 months is on the younger side for this, but she was sleeping 7:30-7:30 and 2 naps was just not possible anymore and she could stay up for so long. If I tried following wake windows she would scream herself to sleep which was cruel for everyone.
I have not been consistent with this, but if she only has one nap it works really well.
However, now it seems 6am is her time to wake up which is the only way 2 naps works. Should I keep trying for one nap or just go back to 2? I sure am not ready for a one nap schedule which is pretty much the only reason as to why I’m hesitant. 😂 I don’t know what to do with a 10 month old for that long in the morning!
If everything went perfect her schedule would be:
6-9 awake
9-10:30 asleep
10:30-2 awake
2-3 asleep
3-7 awake
Thoughts?? Suggestions?? Thank you!!

We were between 1 and 2 naps for a couple months and it finally settled once he was about 15 months which was back in January. We would have alot of nap refusal, late nights early wakings etc before it finally settled, only thing I can suggest is just try and tweak times and now his schedule is wakes around 7am naps between 12/1230 to 2/230pm obviously give or take half hour if he wakes up earlier or later and bedtime is 7.30pm x
thank you! it’s tough because she’s not getting as much sleep as she used too and it’s showing, she gets way more sleep with one nap but that’s a challenge also. did you ever push bedtime back? she used to only sleep until 6 if her bedtime as later than 730pm so I don’t feel like pushing it back is the answer
Sounds similar schedule to my lb. I started to find if he had two naps then his nighttime sleep wouldn’t be that good and he would wake earlier in the morning. So I just went in with a hard change, kept him going until 11 instead of 10 in the morning for his nap. Now he naps 11-1 then sleeps 7-7 at night x
thank you! mine can’t usually make it 6 hours, currently I’m doing 2 naps roughly making her day sleep 2-2.5 hours and she’s back to sleeping 7:30-7:30, so I’ll just play around with it I guess!
Yeah we tried pushing bedtime back, bringing it forward, doing a proper solid routine, not really doing a routine.... nothing really helped until he was fully settled with 1 nap tbh. Sometimes he wouldn't fall asleep til gone 10pm and he'd be up at 7am 😴
