10.5 month - one nap? Please help!
Hey all, advice needed please!
My 10.5 month old has been sleeping great for a while now on a 3/3.5/4 hr 15 schedule.
As of recently she is requiring a bit longer than 3.5 some days, sometimes 4 and sometimes 3 hr 40 ish. She will go down without a fight if I extend it a little more.
I cap nap 1 if if goes later than 12.30 in order to have nap 2 start before 4pm ideally and then I cap nap 2 to 4.45 so that bedtime isn’t too late.
However recently with her waking at 4.45pm and me putting her to bed after 4 hours 15 ish minutes, she is now fighting bedtime and taking a long time to fall asleep. This same night she also had a really long split night which is NOT like her at all.
She can comfortably handle just under 5 hours before bed as I did this once on holiday recently and she fell asleep MUCH quicker!
So I guess she needs around 5 hours before bed? My question is how do I fit 3/4/5? I did one day where we did one nap but that’s because we came back from holiday and I let her sleep in and just did an earlier bedtime on a one nap day and it actually went well.
My other concern is that she still can’t do longer than 3.5 in the morning so idk how fitting one nap would be
My desired bedtime is max 9pm but would ideally like it to be 8pm.
Any suggestions, I would be so grateful
