To nap or not to nap … that is the question
My daughter wakes up between 9-10 am everyday and used to nap around 2pm- 4pm and in bed by 10/11. Worked great for her and us but now she’s starting to refuse a nap some days. I thought it was way too young for her not to be napping but it’s my first, so I’m not sure. Should I just drop the nap all together? When we do , she goes to bed around 8/9.

Some toddlers do drop naps around now but others don't drop them until much later! Keep in mind, there can be a 2 year sleep regression as well. If she's refusing a nap right now, but it's still incredibly cranky by bedtime, I'd still lay her down like usual but give some toys she can play with. 9 times out of 10, they'll get bored and fall asleep.
I say just drop map altogether or wake up earlier
My daughter goes to bed around 8-830. Wakes up between 7:30-8:30. Then I put her down for a nap around 1245-1. Naps until 2-230 sometimes she will usually get her up by 3 if she sleeps longer.
They’re should be a 6 hour wake time then nap and 5 hours or so after that until bed
going through the same, hoping someelse can give us advice
