How old was your baby when they went to one nap a day?

post #1 of 7
Thread Starter 

When did your baby drop down to one nap? DD is 10.5 months, and has been refusing to go to sleep in the afternoon. I put her down for the night earlier if she doesn't nap in the afternoon, but I still wonder if she's getting enough sleep. 


Morning nap goes from about 9:30-11 (depending on when she wakes up). Afternoon naps used to be at about 2:30-3:30, but it's just not happening anymore. I've tried nursing/rocking, changing her lunchtime, and CIO. 

Any tips?

I don't remember exactly but I know ds dropped the 2nd nap well before his first birthday.

Our LO is 18 months now, and he's been on one nap for maybe 4 months (?).  I have gotten used to it, but it sure would be nice if he still did two!

 

When they are ready to drop a nap, they drop it.  The only thing that would kick him into an extra was a car ride.

 

Good luck.

Around his first birthday - his sister too.

So I would love to hear how the timing of that nap went when they go from two to one? Currently my 10m twins take 2 a morning one starting between 10 and 11 and lasting 60-90 min ans another around 3pm for a similar 60-90 min.

 

When they end up switching to one nap, what time of day is it usually compared to when their two naps were? And what about length? Is it the same length as one of them used to be or closer to the total of the both used to be?  Just really curious what is coming down the pipe for us!

DS is 21 months and is still taking 2 naps a day.  AM nap 10-11:30; PM 3:30 to about 5:30.  Bedtime is 8:30-ish and he gets up in the morning around 7:30/8

I think DD2 dropped nap 2 at around 12 months (she can still fall asleep in the afternoon if she has a shorter nap in the am or we are in the car...)  It is usually from 11-1 or something similar.

 

I think DD1 kept her 2 naps a day until almost 18 months.
