It cuold be any number of things. My only real advice is to try not to try so hard
If she won't sleep, just let her be awake. I know she needs to. I know she's knackered and overtired, but it really isn't worth the effort. I gave up on day sleeps with DS from around 10 months or so. By 16 months he was into a fairly predicatble routine - just happened eventually. There are few things worse than spending an hour (or two) to get them to sleep for only 30 minutes.
The only time I really kept trying was at bed time - it was better when it was only once a day.
I always find with babies and sleep, if they're sleeping well it feels like a fluke and there's no chance it'll last, but when they're sleeping badly it feels like it'll be like this forever!
Just thought I'd throw my two cents in my DD1 went down to one sleep at ten months but can never make it to midday. She has to go down for a sleep at 10-10.30. She's nearly 19 months now and is still more than happy with what's happening. Marcellus gave such good advice. Try not trying so hard. And the transition from two to one sleep is very difficult. Agh!! Sleep. It's the bane of most mothers' existences methinks! xx
