Saw the post about your DD taking one nap. I'm thinking my DD is ready to move to one but I'm not sure. What signs did she give you and how long did you wait it out? Here's my daughter...wakes 5:15-5:30 first nap 8:30 and another 3hrs after 1st nap usually 12:30 with a bedtime of 6pm or 4hrs from her 2nd nap. Today she slept for 20min this morning after 45 min of crying and for today's afternoon nap it took her 35min to fall asleep and she slept for 40min. Everyday seems like a struggle and she's not napping long at all. I feel LOST!!

yikes.....the signs were like i said--she would play/babble/cry in her crib for the afternoon nap for an hour and then sleep for less than 30 min. all it was doing was exhausting both of us. i would go in every 10 min if she was crying and she would just start up again. so after 2 weeks of this......i started trying to push her am nap later. we are at 10:45-11am naptime no matter what time she wakes up. and she has been sleeping about 1 1/2 hours, falling asleep within 5 min. no tears!
she gets cranky as the evening goes on, so we just try to have her in bed by 6:30pm now and she goes right to sleep and STTN (usually--we have had some rough nights from teething and trying to master new skills) until 6:30-7am.
it is a rough transition and we are still working on it. i would like to get her to nap after her lunch to see if she will sleep longer with a full little belly but i haven't been able to get the nap that late yet....that is the goal.
