@logansc Well, a lot of us are first time parents… we just figure it out as it goes.
At 1 year we followed wake windows so he woke around 6:30, nap 10:00-11:30 and nap 2:30-3:30.
Your second nap is too long for that time if you want a bedtime earlier than 9 pm.
They do have to get used to staying awake for longer. If I put my son down for a nap early because he’s grouchy, he will 100% wake up early and that screws up his bedtime. And he’s been on 1 nap with a very consistent schedule since 14 months (20 months now).
