When do babies typically go down to one nap a day?

Question

My daughter is 10 months old and sleeps 11-12 hours a night. She wake up around 7:30-8 am and has a nap around 10-10:30. Then a nap around 2-2:30. 
For a couple weeks now, her first nap is only lasts 20-30 minutes and her afternoon nap is like 2 hours. 
I’m thinking if she is no longer sleeping a long stretch for that first nap, then she no longer needs it? Maybe just have her nap at like 1? I just feel like I’m forcing a morning nap when maybe she doesn’t need it anymore. 
Between the night and her afternoon nap shes getting about 14 hours of sleep in a day.

Answer

Usually around 12 months, but can be sooner. My third baby transitioned down to one nap a 10 months old.

Answer

Each kid is different my 1 year old still takes 2 naps where my 2 year old I can barley get 1 nap in

Answer

My 10 months old has 1 or 2 a day depending on when he wakes up for the day and if he wants it, today he only had one as he woke up late at 11am (he’s poorly right now so keeps sleeping in) and went to bed as normal at 8:30 
He only takes short naps so most days he wakes up at 9, naps at 12/12:30 for 20-30 minutes and then naps again 3:30/4 for another 30minutes, he is a terrible napper and only cat naps, sometimes they only last 5 minutes 😂 
But some days he will wake up at 9, nap at 2/3pm for an hour and then stays up till bedtime, I just follow his lead, if he seems tired he naps, if he fights it I try again later

Answer

My son is 13 months old and he’s been taking one nap a day since he was like 9 months old. The doctors keep telling me that he NEEDSSSS two naps a day that are both an hour and a half each and as much as I try to make that happen he doesn’t want to. He will take one nap a day that lasts an hour maybe. But at the same time he wakes up at like 8:30 everyday eat breakfast then plays then eats lunch around 12 then he naps then he wakes up and plays some more then he has a snack around 4 and dinner at 6 then a bath at 7 and bedtime starts at 8 but he usually doesn’t get to sleep til like 9 after cuddles and kisses and rocking in the chair. And he’s a really happy baby. But they ask every single time we go in and I’m honest with them and they are always telling me that he doesn’t sleep in his crib because he’s sleep deprived because he’s not getting enough naps. But the ONLY time he doesn’t sleep through the night is if we try to have him sleep in his crib. I honestly think he doesn’t like his mattress because we have a king soze bed with a toddler blocker on “my side” but really that’s his side I’m in the middle and my husband is on the end. He sleeps through the night every night we put him in our bed. And he only has 1 nap a day that might last an hour. 
I’m not sure when they are technically supposed to go down to one nap a day but my little man is happy with just one a day. There are every now and then times that he will voluntarily take another nap before/after snack time. But I don’t force it. He’s happy I’m happy.

Answer

Mine was around 15m but it was an adjustment for about a month switching between two and one depending on the day. By 15m he was pretty reliably just one nap.
