I wouldn't think that a good night's rest would interfere with nap. However I do realize that all kids are different. How much time is there between waking up & nap time? I'm wondering if dck isn't tired enough for a nap yet?
this.
Ive also known some babies who just don't nap.
I would put the kiddo down for a nap and get them up when nap is over. I don't stress about how much a child sleeps as long as they aren't ruining nap for everyone else and i still get my break.
