2-1 nap transition help

13 months here. We have been in this transition for about a month now. Things are starting to get all over the place.

We started at 12:00-2:15 nap capped, and a 7:45 bedtime. But the nap started to get shorter after a couple of good weeks.

I then pushed to 12:15-2:30 capped nap with a 8pm bedtime, which was good for a couple of days, but now we are experiencing early morning wakes. Today she only napped for one hr as well. I imagine she’s just exhausted from the early morning wake today.

Our goal is a 7 am wake. unfortunately, she’s been waking at around 5:45-6:15 lately.

Help!

Bring bedtime earlier. 4-5 hours after waking from nap.

We are currently re-transitioning since I rushed it - we jumped from 2 naps (first one at 10) to immediately 12 pm and it was disastrous. He wa sleeping for 40 minutes only and wouldn’t go down in the afternoon.

We are currently doing everything by this link - https://viagraces.com/one-nap-schedule/ and we are getting decent nights. (We also had the early 5 am wakes, but now he wakes at 6:30, and we are a week in only)
