Struggling with nap transition

Sa

Hello,

I’m hoping someone could help shed some light on my situation.

My 17 month old is STRUGGLING with the 2-1 nap transition.

If I keep him up from 7 when he wakes to 12, he only sleeps for like 45-60min.

It’s not enough sleep to get him to his 7pm bedtime. He’s soooo cranky and irritable right now.

What am I doing wrong? 😩
