When is it best to change from 2 to 1 nap a day?

Question

My one year old son naps well but something his last nap is so so just wondering when do you cut a nap

Answer

I cut mine down to one nap a loooonnngggg time ago. Two naps caused her to be awake until 1, 2, sometimes 3 in the morning. Also, she's not allowed to take naps after 5.

Answer

My one year old already is just taking one. Though the past week, he's refused naps entirely. 
I believe my first dropped from 2 to 1 around 10 months and stopped napping entirely around 18 months.

Answer

I let my son give up his afteroon nap so that he can go to bed early and won’t fight it wheb it comes to bedtime since we also have a newborn at home.

Answer

My daughter started talking one nap (on her own) at 8 months. She sleep for 3 hours. 2 to 5 pm.

Answer

My LO still has 2 naps (sometimes even 3 if one is cut short) and is still plenty tired by bedtime. I’m going to let her continue as long as she shows she needs them.

Answer

It’s different for everyone! Just need to follow your little one’s cues!

Answer

My son is almost 13 months and still takes two naps a day. He is slowly starting to show signs that he will be finished with his morning nap in the near future. Here in the next month or two i think he will be able to stay awake for a little longer in between naps and we will probably cut the nap when that happens. I going to naturally let the first nap cut itself it going off my babies cues

Answer

My son dropped to 1 nap around 10 months. He started fighting at nap times because he wasn’t having enough awake time, so his bedtime was too late

Answer

My daughter has been doing one nap since about 9 months. Night sleep is about 8-7. Nap from about 12-2. Between errands and siblings and life...two naps was just not something that could be maintained.

Answer

The book I used to schedule my baby (Moms on call) said they drop to 1 nap between 12-18 months and to switch to one when you’re having more bad second naps than good ones. I’m at 13  months and my daughter is just starting to have a bad 2nd nap occasionally. I will try to hold out as long as possible
