Re: 18month old sleep and nap routine
I take it she still naps a couple of times a week? Most babies phase out naptime by dropping some but not all. My DD1 was done with naps by 17 months - if I forced one on her (eg by driving around for a while) she woke furious and was horrible for the rest of the day, before taking an extra hour to SLOWLY and painfully fall asleep at night. So I called an end to her naps, as then she was only grumpy and fell asleep nice & quickly at bedtime. MIL later told me her 3 all kicked their naps at 14 months - wish she'd told me sooner!
Anyway, the routine - I would space out the snacks more evenly, as said below, and try introducing Quiet Time (see attached Article below) at 1pm on the days your DD doesnt need a nap. Apart from that, it looks fine, if it suits you of course!
