Drop the morning nap or keep it?

13 month old, fighting morning nap or only sleeping 20 min. PM nap fine. Is it time to drop or push through?

We did 2 weeks of 'every other day' - one nap one day, two naps the next. Helped them adjust.

Classic 2-1 transition. Usually happens 13-18 months. Push wake windows longer in the morning and you'll naturally drop it.

Don't drop until at least 13mo - they regret it if you go too early.

If they're getting solid 2hr in afternoon, the morning is on its way out. Bedtime might need to shift earlier for a few weeks.
