Early riser, when to do first nap?

Question

My daughter wakes up between 5-5:30 lately. She used to wake up between 6:00:6:30, and I was able to put her down for a nap between 11:30-12.
Now that she wakes up so early, she gets so tired around 9-9:30. I’ve put her down for a nap around this time, but it’s usually short, and she refuses a second nap later in the day. I’ve tried pushing her towards an 11 am nap, but she is completely overtired by that point. Anyone go through something similar or have suggestions?

Answer

I’d say try to put her nap so she’s awake about the same amount of time around it. So if she’s sleeping say 14 hours a day, she should be awake for two stretches of five hours. My daughter usually wakes up between 8-9am,  naps 1-3pm, then goes to bed around 8:30
If she has an early bedtime and is getting 10-12 hours of night sleep, you can probably get away with putting her down around 10 until 12ish. 
There’s also a chance that she doesn’t need a second nap. The recommendations around our kids’ age is about 11-15 hours of sleep per day, so as long as she’s in that range, she’s probably fine to stay up as long as she’s happy.

Answer

What is her bedtime? My son wakes up around 5:30, but he goes to bed at around 7 pm. He only has one nap from about 12:30-3.
