Naps… is it possible?

Question

My daughter is 17 months and transitioned to 1 nap in the day a few months ago. She jumped from 3 naps to 1 in a matter of days 
She is SOOOOO tired. 
She gets up at 6am (7 if we’re lucky) and is up until 7:30pm with on one nap which she takes at 9:30am for up to 2 hours. 
She is absolutely WRECKED by bed time and just awful to be around because she’s so grumpy. But she won’t take a nap in the after noon. 
Any ideas what we can do? Is it even possible to convince her to take a nap? I’d like her to take another nap but she wants to get up and go.

Answer

The morning nap is waaaay too early if she only has one nap and needs to be pushed. Around 11-12 is more ideal.

Answer

If she’s napping that early in the morning, she still needs a second nap.
If the one nap is how it’s going to be, that nap needs to be at around 11am.

Answer

Her nap needs to be pushed back an hour or two and maybe see if she can sleep longer. 2.5 hours maybe.

Answer

An afternoon nap can help. I'd say 11am or after is when to put your kid down for a nap. One way to let your kid sleep longer is right before you put her down give a snack/light lunch to your kid so they won't wake up as soon. I give my kid a 10-12 or 11-1 nap daily and it works well for me. Most of the time my 20 mo daughter sleeps for 2 hours during her nap. She sleeps 12-14 hours at night (6pm-8am) so maybe adjusting when she sleeps at night could help your kid get more rest too.

Answer

Try and get her to nap after lunch if you can, keep her busy in the morning

Answer

Stretch out the morning nap to start a bit later if you can!
