I am a good many years from having any kids of my own, so all I can say is good luck, and I hope someone can give you some useful advice!

Not a mother, but maybe I can throw something out there. I think 1 nap is normal at this point, so maybe all you need to do is gradually dial everything back. Spend a few days getting her up a little earlier and putting her to bed a little earlier each time, the nap should automatically move to a little earlier as well. Does she get pretty hyper? Seems like my nephew needs to be run down (literally) sometimes. Then again, that kid seems to just feed off the energy of the room. Not sure how he can not sleep, not eat, and still have so much friggin energy. o_O

When my son was that age, I gave up trying to force an actual sleep schedule and went with his natural rhythm, so I just started to take one of his naps with him, that way I got some much needed sleep.

We’re a late night family, its just how we work. Both girls (2 1/2 and just turned 4) go to bed from 10-11, and sleep until about 10am. I have blackout curtains in our room and their room (we co-sleep and they sleep in their beds too).

Anyway, keep naps short, it should be 1 REM cycle which means about 45 minutes to an hour nap during the day. Wake her up earlier, at whatever time previously worked for you. Accept that she’ll be cranky and it’ll be a rough day, because she’ll be slightly sleep deprived (with what, 7 hours instead of 10-12?), let her take an hour nap 3-4 hours after she wakes, then another hour nap 3 hours after that if she needs it, then bed time what, 4 hours later? It should work in theory

Is she walking? A good way to reset is also to go to like, the park or an indoor play area and let them tire themselves out. Then they’ll nap when you need them too, if she fights naps at all.

My girls are older but they don’t nap every day, when they do I have to make sure its before 3 otherwise they’ll do the 6pm nap, wake up at 8 recharged thing too. Sometimes they do that anyway, I just know its a long night.

Not a Mum, but was a nanny for many years. At this age, my boys started only having a nap in the middle of the day but sleep schedules are funny things, and different kids need different amounts of sleep. I looked after 4 different kids and they all had slightly different sleep schedules. I think you need to work out a pattern that works for both of you.

Good luck! Changing a sleep schedule was a hated task of mine cause of the associated crankiness!

I just spent time with my now 11 month cousin, my aunt only lets him have one morning-lunch nap ( usually between 10am-12pm ) then he stays up until his bedtime at 8pm, but he gets up kind of early, 7 am.
