My dd is 13.5 months and we are really struggling with her sleep from past few weeks. First I thought she was transitioning to 1 nap so we went with 1 nap. It was ok for few dats where she took 1.5 -2 hr nap and then went to bed at 7:30. But frim last week she takes nap between 1.5 -2 hrs but at bedtime just rolls n fusses for 1-1.5 hr and is onlt sleeping 10 hrs. I tried going back to 2 naps but she needs long waketime for 2 naps and bedtime becomes crazy late. Anyone experience this with transitioning to 1 nap

DS2 just turned 14 months and his sleep has been a bit out of whack the past couple of weeks - taking longer to fall asleep and waking up more in the night. I think it's a combo of a lot things - moving to one nap, learning new skills, being generally more aware that Everyone else goes to sleep after him. At this point, I just go for the ride and let it work itself out. Know you're not alone!

@Jass: what was her schedule before naps? I would keep the same bedtime, just transition to one nap.
For example, our LO was cutting his afternoon nap shorter and shorter, so we kept him up longer in the morning, allowed him to sleep in the afternoon (we started with a noon nap until we could get him to go longer) and kept the same bedtime of 8:30. Gradually, as he got older, he started moving his bedtime later, but he only sleeps about 10 hours/night with about a 2 hour nap most days (if he naps now). He would nap longer when he was younger, but he gave up 2 naps at 10 months. Some kids don't need as much sleep as others...especially as they get older. He'll be 3 in September.

The transition for us was pretty terrible. DS got moved to the toddler room because they did a consistent nap time there, but it was only 1. There were nights when he came home exhausted and screamed the entire time. There was only so early that we could get dinner on the table and get him to bed. For a long time on weekends we'd do 2 naps. But eventually we got down to just one nap every day.
