Moving to 1 nap?

Question

When did you move your child down to 1 nap a day? My daughter turns 1 in a couple weeks and lately she hasn’t been napping in the morning like usual. She use to sleep 7pm to 7am, take a nap around 10am and then again at 2pm. The past 2 weeks she has been skipping her 10am nap and just plays in her crib. Is it a big transition to go down to one nap? I’ve read developmentally 12-18 months is common, but I’d like to get real examples if I can.

Answer

My daughter is 12m. 
She’s had a few random days where she has skipped one of her two naps but overall still needs 2 naps. 
I thought she was possibly gearing up to drop a nap but turns out it was teething pain or congestion keeping her up. 🙏🏻 I’m hoping it’s closer to 18m. 
Both my nephews dropped to 1 nap between 16-18m.

Answer

If your baby is not ready then it’s a big transition but it sounds like yours is. We’re trying to move to 1 nap with my 11 month old and it’s a hot mess

Answer

15 months

Answer

That was around the age we went down to 1 nap. For a while there were some days she still needed 2 and some days she only needed 1. I followed her cues but those days of 2 naps happened less and less until she was down to 1.

Answer

My son transitioned on his own down to one nap at about 10 months. We followed his lead. It was an easy transition. He stayed on that scheduled until just after turning 2 when he started fighting the one nap.

Answer

My daughter went to one nap a few days before her first birthday. She moved into a daycare classroom that only had one nap and she was fighting both her naps at home anyway, so she did well with the transition. My son was 13 months and he was fine with the change, but probably could have kept going with 2 naps. Not that he necessarily needed it, he just really likes to sleep. 🤣 He also moved to a one nap class at that time so we just switched to one nap at home as well.
