Best way to transition to one nap?

Question

She’s being crazy! Ive tried keeping two naps tried pushing back naps nothing is working. How did you transition? What’s the best time of day to put them down? She wakes up at 7:30am and goes to bed between 8 and 8:30pm

Answer

My guy typically wakes at 6, goes for a nap at 12 and bedtime is 7. When we transitioned I started just putting him for nap at 11 regardless and once he started doing well with that I pushed it back to 12

Answer

Our guy just kinda showed us he was ready for one nap. Second nap became pure hell so we switched to one. He now wakes up around 7 and will nap around 11. Our goal is to have him nap until 1 but sometimes this doesn’t pan out. Bedtime around 7/730. Keeping him happy during the awake times can be a challenge some days. So if it’s a rough day we play outside more and offer more snacks as he seems to be happy when he’s eating hahaha. Yes it’s a long wake time after nap until bed but when we did two naps he wouldn’t go to bed until super late and would only take his second nap if we held him. Good luck!

Answer

My son wakes and goes to sleep around the same time.  He naps at 130 usually. Sometimes he will go down a bit earlier if he needs. This time has worked well for us. He will typically sleep 2.5-3 hrs and have enough wake time before bedtime rolls around.  We've been transitioned to one nap for quite a while but when we switched over, I remember really needing to keep my lo extremely engaged in fun/new activities during the time he would have been previously napping. (10-11).  It took about 2 weeks for him to get out the habit of needing the am nap. He was not in the best mood during this transition time but keeping him moving and engaged really helped.  If I just let him free play he was a nightmare. We usually do outside time before lunch, then free play after so he can wind down on his own. He usually does books/puzzles and I give him his lovey to get him prepared for nap. 
Good luck mama

Answer

Since we transitioned we get (one) 1 hour nap a day...I’m dying

Answer

I tried pushing first nap 15 mins later every 3-4 days. You keep the afternoon nap to start same time as usual but it’s ok if it’s shorter. Hopefully this will transition your LO to have longer nap in morning and then the afternoon one just gets shorter until he doesn’t need it anymore.

Answer

I followed my sons lead, I didn't force anything.  
I think that's the best when they naturally transition

Answer

We JUST started this a week and a bit ago. She’s with my MIL during the week and sometimes only stays asleep for 45-1.5 hrs with her. But on weekends when we are home she will sleep 2-3 hours! Still working out the kinks but discovering If she goes down at 11:45-12 she sleeps longer than at 11.

Answer

He's up by 7am the latest and goes down for a nap at 1-1:15ish. Nap ends no later than 3:30 and then he's in bed for the night little after 8pm.
