Hi there,

It can be hard to get naps to extend when babies are in a daycare environment. While at least an hour nap is more the ideal, two 45 minutes really aren't that bad if she's sleep well at night. It's really more of a schedule problem in that her last nap of the day need to be pushed to a later time like around 2. If that's not possible, then I'd recommend you try putting her down a little earlier. Take a look at this post which provides a couple of different daily schedule options for a 10 month old and then see where your schedule varies and where you might be able to more closely shift your schedule to one like Nicole suggests.

Please post back and let us know how its going or provide us with some additional details so we can continue to help you troubleshoot.

Oh, this is great news. I'm so glad to hear that she's worked it! Babies and kids are so resilient that sometimes I know I forget that they can often figure out what works for them with less help from us.

And you are right, even though her make up sleep on the weekend means a little less play time, at least she's happy for when she is awake. Plus she's helping set her body clock for a lifetime of healthy sleep habits. Eventually, she'll transition to one nap and then no naps and you'll have quite a bit of playtime!
