I am at my wit's end with 14 1/2 mo ds nap schedule. He's refusing to take 2 naps a day (afternoon nap is impossible) yet he gets up so early 5:30-6:00 he can barely make it until 11:30. The last two mornings he's woken up at 5 and by 8:30 was ready for a nap but then won't go down for an afternoon nap. This has been going on for at least a month. Driving me crazy. Anyone with advice. Last nite I put him to bed at 5:45 but he just woke up super early this morning.

i hear ya. dd now goes to bed 7 or 7:30pm, naps 1-3pm and wakes at around 7am. sometimes earlier depending on what 3-ring circus is going on in her diaper. for a while she was going to bed at 6:30pm and waking up at 5:30am...it was rough so i know what you're going through. i just found really fun activities for her to do right before she started nodding off at 11:30...play doh, special lunch etc. eventually she got used to it and now sleeps really well in the afternoon (sometimes 3 hours!!). GL!
