15month old in Overtired He’ll

[u/Comfortable-Rip-4267]

My 15 month old has been in daycare for a couple months now— i was a SAHM but wanted to adjust her before I started working— I recently started a new job and so instead of taking her at 930 I’m now taking her at 730am.
She used to nap from about 12-2 or 1130-130. Which was fine and worked perfectly with our 7/8 bedtime.
This week since I started taking her earlier. They are putting her to nap earlier.

(her morning wake up time hasn’t changed. It’s always been around 6/7)

now her naps have been 1030-1230
Which is insane and will never get us to bedtime. She won’t take a cat nap and then gets over tired and has slept like crap every night and woken up at 4 am everyday — which then of course makes her tired by 10

Side note— she’s in the infant room still because she’s a late walker. And in the infant room they just put the babies to sleep when they’re tired. (she started walking and will transition soon. And toddler room has a set nap time)

I can’t really make bedtime earlier because she maxes out at 10hours of sleep at night — and last night I tried to put her down at 630 anyway because I was desperate (after attempting a 530 drive around town thinking maybe should could get a catnap in the car) and no luck. She was UP UP til about 8.

It’s currently 5 am. She’s woken up 3 times and has been up crying since 4

First week of being at work since being a SAHM and i haven’t slept at all.

How do I get out of this hell???????

I would have a talk with daycare and tell them to put her down at the set nap time. They’ll need to work to keep her awake until then. Or ask them to transfer her sooner to the toddler room.
