Ideally, you want your child to try using the potty training underwear for
naps on the big
day; however, if you are concerned about her sensitive skin, I would suggest a pull - up - but in a different brand - because she is all grown up and now only wears underwear - and then the pull up goes on just before
nap and comes off right after the
nap - most of us urinate within a few
minutes of waking up and you don't want to give her the opportunity to go in the pull up because it causes confusion - so try to remove it before she urinates and try and have her urinate in the potty.

Hi, my (now 14 mo) son also had a period when he was much smaller when would only sleep for 45 mins in the daytime when previously he'd
napped well... It obviously may not work, but what I did and it might be worth a try was that because he always managed to pass this 45
minute mark if we were walking, I took him for an hour long walk about 3
days in a row was all it took, and then he seemed to learn to get past that 45
minutes and could then do it in his cot... Maybe if that helps during the
day it might have a knock on effect at nightime too... Obviously you don't want to get to a stage where he'll only fall asleep in the pushchair but maybe one
nap a
day try it and another
nap let him go in his cot... Or whatever fits with you, but this was something I found to work for us
Its the only way he'll
nap longer than 10
minutes and I know one
day I'll miss it so much.
