Treating bedtime as a nap

Same 😭 My little one used to wake up an hour after to have a milk top up and then go back to sleep, now she's waking up and wants to come play and sit in the living room with us and won't sleep no matter how much we try. Plus she acts like it's a wake window and stays up for 3 hours 🤦♀️ I've just been trying to get her down earlier, by treating her 2nd nap as bedtime. So she goes to bed at 5/6pm now, so when she wakes up for a long time at least it's not too late. It's hard though because she has nursery so she doesn't get enough actual night sleep and it makes her extremely grumpy as she struggles to nap at nursery
Yeah, my LO has done this on and off since she was very little. Pretty much always does the 30/40 min thing but goes back to sleep easily except when she's going through something, like learning a new skill, in which case we just bring her downstairs with us til I'm then ready for bed and she plays til then. Hopefully it's just short lived for you and goes back to normal 🙏
My little ones bedtime is between 9;30/10 and wakes around 8:30am as he’s on two naps a day. Could you either try maybe wake her at 7:30am ? Or cap her second nap or push her bedtime slightly xxx
