Default day time sleeps

Hi ... my daughter just turned one and has never been a great day time sleeper... generally two to 3 hrs hours in one hour lots... but the last week has been terrible. She is getting up anywhere between 5.30 and 6.30 am and going back down anywhere between 9.30 and 11am - usually after a little bit of a fight and usually has about an hour. But that is it for the rest of the day! The last two nights it has taken me over two hours to get her to sleep for the night just because she is sooooo overtired . I don't have her during the day, DH does and I am the one who does the night time routine as this is my time with her, but neither one of us can get her to sleep easily like we could do a week ago. The routine hasn't changed - dinner, bath, bottle (whilst being read a story), teeth, lullaby and into her cot.
Does anyone has any hints as to how to get her to sleep during the day! The pram can work, but atm it is cold, raining and blowing an absolute gale so its not an option. She is sleeping well at night - usually 10 to 11 hrs, sometimes one wake up but just a quick bottle and back to bed.
She is getting teeth ( only has 3 and number 4 coming through), but when she got her first couple of teeth we never had a problem, she would have a second day time sleep.
any hints, comments or ideas would be greatly appreciated, as poor DH is exhausted when I get home, and I hate seeing her so distressed going to bed (and it taking me so long to get her to sleep - its eating into our time)
thanks
Al
