Both actually lol !!! But with my dcg if she naps in the am she def will not nap in the afternoon . We have a fairly structured morning and she participates in all activities so there is really not slit if time and we are into lunch . We go outside mid morning so that wakes her up abit too !
I did try a couple of times to nap her twice but because I have older kids mostly it really limits out day , as I couldn't go outside .
If she is really cranky I will try the nap but she will just lay there and so I won't leave her to just lay there . I check after 10-15 min if she's awake she will come join us again .
She must have been ready to drop her morning nap as it's only maybe once in a couple of weeks she is cranky .
I agree with you 5lm , if sleep is really needed she would def take the am nap . I like to have two and up for this very reason .
Because I do have older dcks sometimes I will sit and rock them with a blankie during free play ( if free play is going well !!)
