I had 2 - one year olds start with me at the same time as well a few months back. The one started to transition to a noon nap by the time he got here and the second was dropped off at 7am so she was exhausted by 8:30. I did put her down for the morning nap for a few days, but I found it was such a fight (probably just the new surroundings) that it was easier for me to just tough it out.

I would say she'd do better with an am nap still to this day, but, that does not work well for my schedule or my sanity. So, I went cold turkey. I just stretched them out and put them down after lunch. I sometimes did an early lunch if I saw then starting to fade, but then pushed the timeing back a little day by day. Now, she sleeps for 3 hours solid in the afternoon. Amazing!
