When did you LO drop to two naps/day? (Which nap and how old?)

[Alisse]

I think my son is dropping his third nap of the day and, instead, starting bedtime a couple of hours earlier. He's done this 3 times in the last week and so i'm wondering if this is becoming a pattern.

How old was your LO when s/he dropped a nap, which one was dropped, and how old was s/he?

My DS stopped taking three naps pretty early, but would take two three hour naps from about four to seven months. Now we get one "good" nap and try for a small catnap later on the day. It's been hard keeping him to any kind of schedule though, because some mornings he sleeps in til ten.. He is ten months old now. Nak!

My dd seems to be doing it too, and she's only 8 months. So I think it can happen.

Dd2 is 10 months, and she has been down to 2 naps for a while now. She dropped the last nap of the day and started going to bed later!

DS is 10 months and has two naps since he was about 6 months. Each only an hour, maybe hour and a half a day. He's always slept 12hrs at night, but with a LOT of wakings. I'd always thought he needed a later bedtime, but when 8pm rolled around, he was cooked. So, "nighttime" began. But it's been a long time since he's taken more than 2 naps.

Cecilia really vaccilates back and forth between 2 longer naps or 3 shorter naps. She's 3.5 months old. I think she does fine on the 2 naps, actually, but she's not quite ready to always drop that 3rd nap, I don't think. It mostly depends on the timing of the other two naps-- if she doesn't sleep for 3 hours for the first nap, then she ends up taking 2 more because there's just too much awake time for her otherwise.

I have a sept. LO and she dropped the third nap several months ago...maybe at 6 months old. She naps once or twice now and maybe for a total of three to four hours between the two naps.
