14 month old suddenly won't take daily nap and takes over an hour to go to bed?

What is this about? I thought this was just a fluke the first day when it took over an hour to get DD to nap then over an hour to get her to bed. Now it's going on for 4 or 5 days (I lost count). She normally wakes around 730 then naps 11-1 then bath at 730p, bed at 8. Her wake time has been going later, the nap has been pushing later and later (and taking forever to go to sleep) and bedtime is a total headache.

Anyone experience this? I don't know if it could be teething becuase DD already has 12 teeth (front 8 + 2 molars), do they get more teeth than that at this age?

I'm thinking the nap is just not happening today as it's now 2pm and she's still awake and grumbling in her crib. Hopefully that will at least mean bedtime will get back on track.

edit becuase I can't count. She has front 8 + 4 molars

It could be her teeth coming in. That's about when DS's "fangs" started to come in, top and bottom. Luckily for us the bottoms popped through quickly, the top ones are popped through but havent dropped down much yet.

Her schedule sounds like DS also (on days that we don't have things to do) except his bed time is closer to 8:30/9pm.

Hopefully this is a quick phase and she is back on track for you soon!!!

keep at it. Same times everyday.

Wake her up at the same time everymorning, nap, even if shes not sleeping in her crib for how ever long she's normally in there or until she gets really fussy and take her out, and bedtime the same time you want to go to bed.

DD did this and I never gave up and she went back on track. IT took a while, but she back to napping at 2 yrs old. Don't give them up just yet.
